Hello,
With the question “What should I do with a positive Helicobacter pylori test result? ”, the doctor answered as follows:
Did you test for Helicobacter pylori with a blood test or method. If you have a blood test, it is unlikely that you have this bacteria in your stomach. To determine for sure if your stomach is currently infected with this HP bacterium and because you have stomach symptoms, you should see a Gastroenterologist for a gastroscopy, to determine gastric damage and The presence of HP bacteria in the stomach can only lead to specific treatment.
If you still have questions about the positive Helicobacter pylori test result, 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!
