Hello doctor,
I am in the process of taking medicine to treat stomach HP. Before, the pain was already there and when taking the medicine, I often had a very uncomfortable stomach pain. My prescription was taken for 14 days, now have been taking it for 10 days. May I ask if stomach pain when treating stomach HP is normal? Thanks for the advice doctor.

Hello,
With the question “Is stomach pain when treating stomach HP normal? ", the doctor answered as follows:
Helicobacter pylori is a spirochete that lives in the mucous layer on the surface of the stomach lining. Bacteria cause chronic progressive gastritis and are a major cause of gastric and duodenal ulcers and gastric cancer. However, more than 80% of people infected with Hp have no symptoms.
Symptoms in people infected with Hp are often silent, not obvious. HP often causes epigastric abdominal pain, bloating, dyspepsia, stool disorders,... In case you are being treated for eradication of Hp but have abdominal pain, you should re-examine for a doctor to check. Investigate the cause of abdominal pain due to other comorbidities.
If you still have questions about abdominal pain when treating gastric HP, you can go to a medical facility of Vinmec Health System for early examination and treatment. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
