#gastriculcer #acidity #helicobacterpylori #gastric H. pylori is a type of bacteria that can infect your stomach and cause problems such as ulcers, gastritis, and rarely, stomach cancer. Some of the symptoms of H. pylori infection are stomach pain, bloating, nausea, vomiting, weight loss, and black stools. You can get H. pylori from contact with the saliva or other body fluids of someone who is infected, or from contaminated food, water, or utensils. The infection can be diagnosed by a blood test, a breath test, a stool test, or a biopsy of the stomach lining. The treatment usually involves a combination of antibiotics and acid-reducing drugs. You can prevent H. pylori infection by practicing good hygiene, washing your hands frequently, drinking clean water, and avoiding sharing utensils or cups with others.
