Bleeding, perforation and gastric outlet obstruction are the

Perforation: This allows stomach contents to escape into the
peritoneum, causing peritonitis. It is more common in duodenal than
in gastric ulcers.
Gastric outlet obstruction: The most common cause is an ulcer near
the pylorus, but occasional cases are due to antral cancer or adult
hypertrophic pyloric stenosis.
