What are the symptoms of Eumannia pylori?

Gastric juice is highly acidic, so in the early days people believed that no bacteria could survive in the stomach, because no bacteria could tolerate such a highly acidic environment. At that time, people believed that gastritis and gastric ulcers were caused by food and stress. Later, Helicobacter pylori was gradually discovered. It is the culprit of most stomach diseases. This article describes Helicobacter pylori, which will be introduced in detail by the editor below.

characteristic

Helicobacter pylori is a Gram-negative bacterium that is mainly distributed in the gastric mucosal tissue. 67%-80% of gastric ulcers and 95% of duodenal ulcers are caused by Helicobacter pylori. Common symptoms of patients with chronic gastritis and peptic ulcers are: fullness, discomfort or pain in the upper abdomen after eating, often accompanied by other adverse symptoms such as belching, bloating, acid reflux and loss of appetite. Some patients may also experience recurrent severe abdominal pain, small amounts of upper gastrointestinal bleeding, etc.

Infection distribution

Helicobacter pylori infects people of different races and regions around the world, and it can be said to be the most widespread chronic bacterial infection among adults. The general trend is that the infection rate of Helicobacter pylori increases with age, about 80% in developing countries and about 40% in developed countries, and is slightly higher in men than in women. The infection age in my country is about 20 years earlier than that in developed countries. The infection rate for people aged 20-40 is 45.4%-63.6%, and it is as high as 78.9% for people over 70 years old. In addition, the infection rate in northern my country is higher than that in southern China.

symptom

Bad breath

Helicobacter pylori is one of the most direct pathogens that cause bad breath. Since Helicobacter pylori can survive in dental plaque, after infection occurs in the mouth, it will directly produce smelly carbonized substances, causing bad breath.

Gastrointestinal symptoms

Patients infected with Helicobacter pylori often experience gastrointestinal disease symptoms such as postprandial belching, nausea, bloating, and abdominal discomfort, and these symptoms can occur at any time. However, some patients do not have obvious symptoms and can only be discovered by going to the hospital for relevant examinations.
