Stomach Health & Helicobacter Pylori
|
|
| |
What is the cause of your upset stomach? |
|
| |
Instead of stress, spicy food, and alcohol, Helicobacter
pylori (H. pylori) infection can cause upset
stomach and ulcers. There is irrefutable evidence from
numerous researches that H. pylori plays a decisive
role in the development of chronic gastritis, which may
progress into duodenal or gastric ulcer and eventually,
cancer. In fact, H. pylori is classified as, and
known, as a carcinogen.

What is Helicobacter Pylori? |
|
| |
H. pylori
is a bacterium that weakens the protective mucous coating of
the stomach and duodenum, which allows acid to get through
to the sensitive lining beneath. Both the acid and the
bacteria irritate the lining which may cause a sore, or
ulcer. Without giving proper treatment, the patient may
progress into established duodenal or gastric ulcer or
eventually, cancer.

50-50? You might be an H.pylori Carrier |
|
| |
H. pylori
infects a large proportion of the world's population. It is
reported that over 50% of the Hong Kong population above the
age of 30 years old is likely to be positive for the
presence of H. pylori and so are carriers. However,
some carriers do not have any symptoms at all. Therefore, a
diagnosis should be given for clarification.

Traditional Method of Diagnosis of H.pylori Infection |
|
| |
The diagnosis of H.pylori infection has
traditionally involved endoscopy with biopsies of the
gastric mucosa for the necessary histological examination.
But many patients refuse to undertake the endoscopic
examination as it is expensive, physically uncomfortable and
psychologically repulsive due to the tube insertion and
tissue sample removal.
