What is Helicobacter Pylori? | Gastric ulcer | Causes , Signs and Symptoms of H Pylori
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a type of bacterium that can infect the stomach lining and cause chronic inflammation. It is estimated that up to half of the world's population may be infected with this bacterium. H. pylori is a gram-negative, spiral-shaped bacterium that can survive in the acidic environment of the stomach.
H. pylori infection is usually acquired in childhood and can persist for many years if left untreated. The most common symptoms associated with H. pylori infection are abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, and vomiting. In some cases, the infection can lead to the development of peptic ulcers, gastritis, and even stomach cancer.
H. pylori is primarily transmitted through oral-oral or fecal-oral routes, and risk factors for infection include living in crowded conditions, poor sanitation, and low socioeconomic status. Diagnosis of H. pylori infection can be made through various methods, including blood tests, breath tests, and endoscopy with biopsy.
Treatment of H. pylori infection involves a combination of antibiotics and acid-reducing medications, and the success of treatment is usually confirmed through follow-up testing. Overall, early detection and treatment of H. pylori infection is important in preventing the development of serious gastrointestinal complications.
