I've been feeling really concerned lately and I'm hoping you can help. I don't quite understand the difference between erosions and ulcers. What can actually cause these issues? And most importantly, how can I treat or cure them?

I've been having these recurring stomach aches every time I try to go to the toilet, but nothing actually happens, just pain on that side. It's really frustrating because it doesn't seem to improve. Should I be worried about this, or is it something that might just clear up on its own? I've been trying to figure out what could be causing it. Any insights?
