Southeast Express (trainee reporter Huang Shuping) "there is Helicobacter pylori in the stomach, it represents a problem in the stomach ?" Yesterday, after receiving his health check report, Mr. Jiang of Fuzhou found that there was Helicobacter pylori in his stomach. After checking the information on the Internet, he began to feel uneasy.

Last week, Mr. Jiang and several colleagues went to a hospital in Fuzhou for a health check. One of them was a "Breath" check. The health check doctor told Mr. Jiang that this is to check whether there is Helicobacter pylori in the stomach, and the existence of this bacteria is the basis for determining whether there is a disease in the stomach.

Yesterday, the Health Check report came out. Both Mr. Jiang and several colleagues showed that Helicobacter pylori exists in the stomach. Mr. Jiang hurried to the Internet to view the relevant information. "A lot of information on the Internet says that there is Helicobacter pylori in the stomach, which is a prompt of gastrology ." After reading these materials, Mr. Jiang worried. "I don't feel uncomfortable in my stomach at ordinary times. Why is there something wrong? Do you want sterilization ?"

Experts' statement
The body "with bacteria" is not equal to illness

"According to epidemiological investigations, basically 50% of the human body contains Helicobacter pylori, but only about 10% of carriers are infected with bacteria ." Ke Xiao, chief physician of the department of Gastroenterology at the Second People's Hospital of Fujian province, said that Helicobacter pylori is a group of bacteria that can coexist with people and cause diseases in the human body.

It is understood that this type of bacteria is an important cause of chronic gastrology, but also the primary consideration before determining whether there is a problem with the stomach. Therefore, during physical examination, the breath test of Helicobacter pylori is used as a basic item.

However, the stomach contains this bacterial population, which does not directly indicate stomach diseases. Director Ke said that each person has different levels of resistance, different bacterial species and different toxicity in Helicobacter pylori populations. Only when a person has a weak resistance or the bacteria carried in the body are highly toxic can he or she be more likely to be infected with stomach diseases.

No need to "Kill all" of Helicobacter pylori"

Director Ke said that only when a positive Helicobacter pylori infection was detected, the patient had upper abdominal pain, abdominal distension, and suffocation, and had a diagnosis of chronic gastrology, gastric gastritis, active gastritis, lymphoma and other diseases after gastroscopy, sterilization is required. However, under the guidance of a doctor, all the well-regulated treatments against Helicobacter pylori can be completely cured. If the body has no obvious discomfort and no lesions after gastroscopy, sterilization is not considered.

Use independent tableware during dinner

Director ke warned that the prevention of Helicobacter pylori infection and cut off its transmission route is an important part of preventing gastrology. Helicobacter pylori exists in feces, saliva, Tartar, and vomit. Therefore, emphasize hygiene and wash your hands before and after meals. It should be emphasized that Helicobacter pylori is particularly susceptible to infection when eating "Big Pot Rice. In particular, the public tableware is used to share the tableware during group dinner. The bacteria are transmitted to other people through public tableware, so it is best to have independent tableware during dinner.
