Eat garlic, drink green tea, brush your teeth with specific toothpaste
Eliminate the "ghost" in the stomach. These online tricks are unreliable
According to media reports, more than half of people in China are infected with Helicobacter pylori, with an average infection rate of 59%. Many people know that Helicobacter pylori may cause gastric ulcer and gastric cancer, but do we really understand it? How to effectively prevent infection?
The radical cure rate of drug treatment exceeded 90%
Helicobacter pylori is a kind of gram-negative bacilli, which has strong viability and can survive in strong acid environment. It is the only bacteria found to survive in the stomach.
After infection with Helicobacter pylori, some patients have no typical symptoms. Some patients will have symptoms such as stomach pain and bad breath, and may also have chronic gastritis. Among the patients infected with Helicobacter pylori, 20% will have peptic ulcer, 10% will have dyspepsia, and 1% will have malignant tumors such as gastric cancer and mucosa associated lymphoid histiocytoma.
So, how does Helicobacter pylori spread?
Helicobacter pylori is mainly transmitted through fecal mouth and mouth to mouth. Helicobacter pylori exists in the feces of Helicobacter pylori patients. If the water source is polluted, healthy people may be infected after drinking. There are also certain bacteria in the mouth of Helicobacter pylori infected people, and they may be infected if they eat with them. Many adults like to feed their children mouth to mouth, which is easy to infect their children with Helicobacter pylori.
At present, the main way to detect Helicobacter pylori is carbon 13 or carbon 14 breath test, which is noninvasive, painless and accurate, and can give results in half an hour.
At present, the treatment of Helicobacter pylori mainly takes four drugs orally through quadruple therapy, with half a month as a course of treatment. The radical cure rate of this method is as high as more than 90%.
Quadruple therapy mainly refers to taking proton pump inhibitors, two antibiotics and bismuth. The main function of proton pump inhibitor is to inhibit gastric acid secretion and increase the pH value in the stomach in the eradication of Helicobacter pylori infection, so as to enhance the effect of antibiotics.
After receiving treatment, the patient must go to the hospital again for reexamination. The reexamination is also a breath test of carbon 13 or carbon 14. If the result is negative, it means that it has been cured. However, it should be noted that before reexamination, the use of various antibiotics and heat clearing and detoxifying traditional Chinese medicine should be stopped for more than one month, and the use of acid inhibitor (PPI) and bismuth should be stopped for more than one week, in order to avoid false negative results. Although the recurrence rate of Helicobacter pylori in adults is very low after treatment, we should still pay more attention to the use of public chopsticks in daily life.
In the treatment of Helicobacter pylori, if there is allergic rash, fever and liver function damage, see a doctor immediately.
"Folk prescription" can't cure Helicobacter pylori
Many people believe that as long as you are infected with Helicobacter pylori, you will get gastric cancer, but it is not. Only about 1% of people infected with Helicobacter pylori will eventually develop gastric cancer. There is a certain connection, but not an inevitable relationship between the two.
After Helicobacter pylori reaches the gastric mucosa through the oral cavity, it will cause chronic superficial gastritis. Over time, duodenal ulcer, gastric ulcer and chronic atrophic gastritis will appear in the human body, and the lesion of gastric cancer is a very long process, which is the result of the joint action of many factors.
To keep away from H. pylori, we should develop good habits in daily life, such as washing hands after meals, and importing foods must be sterilized by high temperature, less stimulating food, serving of individual dishes, and feeding regularly with toothpaste. At the same time, we should pay special attention to avoid eating raw meat. Many people like to eat 3-minute cooked steak, or eat the meat before it is hot in hot pot. This practice will greatly increase the chance of infection with Helicobacter pylori.
In addition, it is often said in the circle of friends that eating garlic often can kill Helicobacter pylori. This statement has no scientific basis. Because only a large amount of garlic can kill Helicobacter pylori, the daily amount of garlic can not meet the requirements of killing Helicobacter pylori. Others say that eating onions and drinking green tea can eradicate Helicobacter pylori, which is also groundless.
Some businesses claim that using toothpaste containing specific ingredients can kill Helicobacter pylori, which is also groundless. Only the stomach is the "ideal residence" of Helicobacter pylori. The oral environment is not suitable for its survival, so the activity is generally not high. It is unlikely to be treated only by simple brushing.
In short, Helicobacter pylori is a grinding "goblin", which will pose a threat to human health. However, there is no need to talk about "secluded" color change. After a clear understanding of it, as long as effective prevention is done, there can be no "secluded" life.
