🦠Friends, today let’s talk about a small but insidious inhabitant of the stomach – Helicobacter pylori!

This bacterium can survive in an acidic environment and can cause gastritis, ulcers, and even increase the risk of stomach cancer.

❗ Symptoms of infection:

  • Abdominal pain
  • Heartburn, nausea
  • Bloating, belching

There are various diagnostic methods (urea breath test, blood test, esophagogastroduodenoscopy with biopsy).

Modern medicine successfully combats H. pylori. Effective treatment regimens have been developed.
