What is Helicobacter Pylori Infection?
Helicobacter pylori, or H. pylori, is a bacteria commonly found in the stomach of about half the world's population. Most people have no symptoms. However, H. pylori can cause digestive problems, including ulcers and, rarely, stomach cancer. H. pylori bacteria may spread through direct contact with saliva, vomit, feces, or contaminated food or water.
Treatment of Helicobacter Pylori Infection
Treatment for H. pylori usually involves taking antibiotics and medications to reduce stomach acid for 14 days, which helps treat the infection and heal damaged tissues.
