gastric cancer is very similar to some other solid tumors in the early stage, and the clinical symptoms are very mild or non-existent in the early stage.
If the clinical symptoms have become more obvious, gastric cancer will develop to the middle and late stages at this time, so you should be vigilant about some early symptoms of gastric cancer.
What are the symptoms of early gastric cancer ?
The most common early symptom of gastric cancer is upper abdominal discomfort. According to clinical research statistics, about 80% of patients will experience this situation. If gastric disease , has not occurred in the past, but has recently experienced upper abdominal discomfort. has not improved greatly after treatment, so it needs to be taken seriously.
Some people had a history of stomach disease in the past, but the abdominal pain has undergone regular changes in recent times, such as progressive aggravation, which also needs to be taken seriously.
In early stage patients with gastric cancer, about half of the patients will experience loss of appetite, but many people do not pay attention to it, but ignore the belief that this is a normal change in their own body.
For middle-aged patients, if they have the above situations, they should go to the hospital for treatment or undergo regular examinations. and gastroscopy is the most common and scientific method.
case
Ms. Wang is 56 years old this year. She always feels some discomfort in her stomach, and it is accompanied by bad breath. She often feels bitter when she wakes up in the morning.
After realizing this situation, Ms. Wang chose to go to the hospital for a relevant examination and found that Helicobacter pylori was positive.
Doctor prescribed certain drugs to Ms. Wang take them on time, but once Ms. Wang was said by a neighbor and changed her approach, which means that toothpaste can kill Helicobacter pylori.
Brushing teeth is something you need to do every day. If it can still cure the disease, Ms. Wang was very moved and stopped taking the medicine prescribed by the doctor. chose to treat Helicobacter pylori by brushing her teeth.
About half a year has passed, but Ms. Wang still feels some discomfort in her stomach. Some of the previous symptoms have been relieved, but the effect has not been improved well. was found to have become early gastric cancer after another review by the hospital.
bitter mouth . Bad breath may be the cause of Helicobacter pylori
When there is bad breath and bitter mouth, people generally think it is caused by anger, or inadequate oral cleaning. In fact, if Helicobacter pylori appears in the stomach, this will also occur.
Helobacter pylori is a microanaerobic bacteria that parasitizes the stomach of the human body. It is located between the gastric mucosa and cells. . The probability of infection with this bacteria in my country is very high, about 50%.
The source of infection of Helicobacter pylori is the human itself. It may exist in the stomach, saliva, feces, and has not been infected through oral transmission, oral transmission, etc.
After infection with Helicobacter pylori, it will cause some symptoms of chronic gastritis, such as acid reflux and gas reflux, accompanied by bitter mouth and bad breath. After infection, the disease course develops slowly. Helicobacter pylori will cause certain damage to the gastric mucosa, which can easily cause congestion and erosion in the gastric mucosa.
Lancet : Helicobacter pylori is the biggest cause of gastric cancer in my country
published in a study published in the journal Lancet Public Health. analyzed the correlation between Helicobacter pylori infection and gastric cancer in my country at that time.Comparison of various data of
found that if Helicobacter pylori is infected, the risk of non-cardia gastric cancer and cardia gastric cancer will be increased by 6 times and 3 times respectively.
That's why Helicobacter pylori appeared, which is the root cause of gastric cancer in our country. my country's gastric cancer ranks second among the global causes of cancer deaths. There are a lot of infections with Helicobacter pylori in the population, but only 1% of gastric cancer are diagnosed.
And this is 1% of patients have ulcerative diseases. The occurrence of gastric cancer is related to Helicobacter pylori, but it is not caused by this factor. There are other aspects of , such as bad eating habits and low immunity.
How to completely eradicate Helicobacter pylori? Ms. Wang in the
case hopes to eliminate Helicobacter pylori by using toothpaste, because this toothpaste is said to contain lactoferrin , which can kill this Helicobacter pylori, but in fact this is not possible.
In life, some people choose to eat garlic to kill Helicobacter pylori. The purpose is mainly because garlic contains allicin , which can have a certain bactericidal effect, but allicin will be decomposed when it encounters heat, and it contains very little allicin. It is not scientific to eat garlic to eliminate Helicobacter pylori.
If you want to treat Helicobacter pylori, you should not believe in some folk remedies, and you still need to use scientific methods for treatment.
, quadruple therapy
Now, for eradicating Helicobacter pylori, the most commonly used method is quadruple therapy, which is also a combination of drugs. The course of treatment is about 10 to 14 days. One is a proton pump inhibitor that can inhibit gastric acid secretion, the other is a bismuth agent that can assist in bactericidal effect, and the other two are antibiotics.
, 14-day treatment course
, but there are also differences in the treatment course for individuals. There are 7 days and 14 days. Under normal circumstances, a 14-day course can improve the efficacy, but if it exceeds 14 days, it will not achieve a very high effect, which will also increase the risk.
. Regular review of
Take quadruple therapy and a relevant review is required after one month of discontinuing the drug. If it is found that Helicobacter pylori is not positive, it means that the eradication has been successfully performed. However, if it is still positive, it needs to be eliminated again after a period of time.
