Hello,
With the question “How is the definitive treatment for stomach HP? , the doctor answered as follows:
According to statistics of the Vietnam Association of Gastroenterology, about 70% of cases diagnosed with stomach ulcers are caused by Helicobacter pylori infection. If not detected and treated promptly, HP infection for a long time can lead to more dangerous complications such as stomach bleeding, gastric mucosa perforation, even the risk of stomach cancer. thick.
Treatment of HP depends on many factors. HP eradication is recommended for cases of lesions detected through gastroscopy, people with a family history of gastric cancer, cases over 40 years of age with high risk of dangerous diseases. In case you have been treated with 3 regimens but still have not eradicated HP, you may have drug-resistant HP infection. You should go to a medical facility that specializes in Endoscopy - Gastroenterology to perform a gastrointestinal endoscopy to make an antibiotic chart and then use a regimen to eradicate HP according to the antibiotic chart.
Besides, lifestyle changes are also very important because HP bacteria are transmitted by mouth - mouth: When sharing dishes, utensils, toothbrushes, when kissing, mothers feed their children rice...; fecal-oral route: pay attention to washing hands before eating and after going to the toilet; gastrointestinal tract; gastrointestinal tract - stomach.
