Can you get pregnant if you have Helicobacter pylori?

When we are infected with Helicobacter pylori, common symptoms are gastritis and gastric ulcers, but this situation does not affect women's pregnancy. It's just that stomach problems after pregnancy will have a certain impact on the physical health of pregnant women. When a Helicobacter pylori disease occurs, it is best to go to the hospital for treatment in time. In addition, you must pay attention to your food hygiene and eat more foods that are good for treating stomach problems.

1. What medicine should I take to treat Helicobacter pylori?

Currently, commonly used anti-Helicobacter pylori drugs at home and abroad include Weifuchun tablets, amoxicillin, metronidazole, clarithromycin, doxycycline, furazolidone, organic colloidal bismuth, Weidere, and Ledewei. Patients with ulcer disease can also appropriately combine the use of proton pump inhibitors or H2 receptor antagonists plus two antibiotics, or proton pump inhibitors (such as omeprazole) plus an antibiotic. The course of treatment is generally two weeks. The widespread use of antimicrobial regimens to treat H. pylori infection has the potential to amplify the problem of drug resistance. Therefore, future research on alternative treatment or prevention strategies, such as vaccine prevention or immunotherapy, is worthy of attention.

3. What are the principles for treating Helicobacter pylori?

3.1. Clean your mouth

The oral cavity is the second place where Helicobacter pylori settles, besides the stomach. Gastro-oral transmission may be caused by Hp in the stomach flowing into the oral cavity through the stomach and esophagus along with the shedding of gastric epithelium. The detection rates of Hp in dental plaque, gingival pockets, caries, dental pulp, back of the tongue, and saliva are all high. The oral cavity is a traditional Chinese medicine storage depot for Helicobacter pylori, which can allow Helicobacter pylori to be swallowed into the stomach along with saliva, causing the occurrence and recurrence of gastric inflammation.

What is the best medicine to treat Helicobacter pylori?

Cleaning the mouth is a very important step. You should brush your teeth or rinse your mouth after meals to prevent the formation of tartar and plaque. You should pay attention to replacing your toothbrush. You can make your own sterilized toothpaste: grind mint leaves into powder, stir it into the toothpaste, and brush your teeth courageously every day to effectively sterilize.

3.2. Reduce gastric acid

High concentration of gastric acid is the most suitable environment for the reproduction of Helicobacter pylori. Reducing gastric acid can inhibit the reproduction of Helicobacter pylori to a certain extent. The specific method is to press the Neiguan point between three meals a day to reduce gastric acid secretion. Press 3 times a day, 2 minutes each time, until you feel slight soreness. You can also apply two slices of ginger on the Neiguan acupoints of both arms, fix them with adhesive tape, and change them daily. Eating 4-5 peanuts or Hericium erinaceus early in the morning can also be helpful.
