What are the symptoms of Helicobacter pylori infection

We should pay attention to the understanding of Helicobacter pylori, because once the patient is infected with this bacteria, he is prone to symptoms such as acid reflux, stomach pain, bad breath, and it can also cause gastritis. The main clinical manifestations are upper abdominal discomfort, dull pain, nausea and vomiting. Therefore, through these symptoms of infection, we must clarify the condition and treat it symptomatically.

1. Symptoms of infection

1) The main symptoms of Helicobacter pylori infection are acid reflux, heartburn, stomach pain and bad breath. This is mainly because Helicobacter pylori induces the crazy secretion of gastrin, which causes acid reflux and heartburn. In patients with gastric ulcer disease, Helicobacter pylori causes the main symptom of stomach pain. One of the most direct causes of bad breath is Helicobacter pylori. [2]

2) Helicobacter pylori can cause chronic gastritis. The main clinical manifestations include: upper abdominal discomfort, dull pain, and sometimes belching, acid reflux, nausea, and vomiting. The course of the disease is relatively slow, but it is prone to recurrence.

3) After being infected with Helicobacter pylori, patients produce a variety of pathogenic factors, which cause damage to the gastric mucosa. The occurrence of clinical diseases is diverse, and patients often experience acid reflux, belching, bloating, etc., which are many times more common in patients infected with Helicobacter pylori than in those not infected with Helicobacter pylori.

4) Helicobacter pylori infection sometimes does not have particularly obvious symptoms. In this case, the presence of Helicobacter pylori infection is usually determined through examination. Helicobacter pylori, a pathogenic bacterium, can easily induce gastrointestinal diseases. These are the symptoms of Helicobacter pylori.

2. Prevention and control methods

Medical scientists believe that it is not difficult to completely eliminate Helicobacter pylori. After 1 to 2 weeks of treatment, 90% of people infected with the bacteria can have Helicobacter pylori completely eliminated from their bodies. They suggested that a nationwide survey should be conducted, and at least people who have undergone gastric surgery, have had gastric disease, or have relatives with gastric cancer should be tested for Helicobacter pylori, and those infected should be given bactericidal treatment, which would hopefully control gastric cancer.
