Recently, many people have discovered that the carbon 14 breath test has been added to the routine physical examination items. They did not know what it was tested for. When they checked it out of curiosity, they did not expect to find out that Helicobacter pylori was positive.
After consultation, it turns out that Helicobacter pylori is the only bacteria that can survive in the stomach. After infection, it is likely to damage the gastric mucosa and induce gastritis. At this time, two extreme attitudes emerged.
Some people are very fearful and worried every day, and they seem to have suffered from stomach cancer . But some people don't take it seriously, thinking it's just a bacterial infection. Just like influenza , it's also a bacterial infection. Can't it be solved by just taking some antibiotics?
Both attitudes appear to be wrong. Infection with Helicobacter pylori does not necessarily lead to the development of cancer , but Helicobacter pylori is indeed the "culprit" of gastric cancer. Therefore, once you find out that your Helicobacter pylori infection exceeds the standard, you should pay attention to it, but you don’t need to worry too much.
After all, Helicobacter pylori infection can be eradicated, so you can relax your mind and actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, and it can be completely cured.
However, if Helicobacter pylori is allowed to multiply and breed regardless, it may also develop into gastric cancer. So we must treat it correctly.
The body infected with Helicobacter pylori will have the following symptoms:
. Bad breath
Although Helicobacter pylori mainly lives in the stomach, they will also enter the mouth with gastric reflux and settle down. When large amounts of Helicobacter pylori grow and multiply on dental plaque, it can lead to oral infection, resulting in bad breath.
Once infected with Helicobacter pylori, the bad breath caused by Helicobacter pylori cannot be eliminated no matter how hard you brush your teeth and rinse your mouth.
2. Nausea and acid reflux
When Helicobacter pylori resides in the stomach, it will cause harm in the stomach and destroy gastric function. In this way, when the gastrointestinal mucosa is stimulated by food, digestion will be incomplete, resulting in regurgitation and regurgitation. Symptoms of acidity, belching , burping , and nausea.
3. stomach pain
Helicobacter pylori will multiply in the stomach, causing serious damage to the gastric tissue, affecting the normal digestion and absorption function of the stomach, causing gastric mucosa to ulcerate, and causing gastric inflammation, which will cause gastric inflammation. Pain appears.
4. Body weight loss and weight loss
As Helicobacter pylori continues to cause damage to the stomach, the digestive function is damaged, so that sufficient nutrients cannot be absorbed, and the body will become malnourished and slowly become weightless. If you find that you have inexplicably lost weight, become thinner, and your complexion becomes worse, you should consider whether Helicobacter pylori is causing trouble, and it is best to seek medical examination in time.
If you want to eradicate Helicobacter pylori, you need to do two things:
. Receive formal treatment
If you want to completely eradicate Helicobacter pylori, you must go to a regular hospital and receive formal treatment. But don’t believe in garlic sterilization and use such wild methods. . The best clinical treatment method now is the quadruple method.
uses two kinds of antibiotics, plus gastric acid medicine, bismuth agent , and the general clearance rate can reach more than 90%.
2. Take precautions to avoid reinfection
Because Helicobacter pylori is mainly transmitted through oral-oral transmission, fecal-oral transmission and contaminated food and water.
Although Helicobacter pylori can be eliminated with medication, it can easily relapse. To avoid reinfection, it is necessary to cut off its source of infection.
Therefore, you must pay attention to personal hygiene in your daily life. Tableware must be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, use a separate meal system, use serving chopsticks, do not drink raw water, wash hands before and after meals, brush your teeth in the morning and evening, and rinse your mouth after meals.
