The insidious bacterium Helicobacter is not such a long-standing discovery in medicine, but knowledge of its life has fundamentally changed the doctors' views on the development of such an unpleasant disease as gastritis of the stomach or duodenum. How many poor fellows had to follow a single oatmeal diet in order to lower the acidity in their stomach! But it turns out that it’s not the blame for tasty and not very healthy food that is to blame, but it is he - a small Helicobacter pylori, which settles in the stomach without notifying its carrier.
The insidious Helicobacter symptoms produce the same symptoms that were considered signs of gastritis: stomach pain, bad breath, digestive upset. That's right, because a breakdown of the wall of the stomach really takes place. However, it is Helicobacter that creates the prerequisites for the mucous membrane of the stomach to cease to fulfill its functions and enable acid to destroy the walls of our main digestive organ. Symptoms appear after the bacterium, surrounded by a shell of alkali, attaches with a mustache to the gastric mucosa and begins to multiply. Many small bacteria can disrupt the harmony of the body, thereby causing gastritis. There are more reasons to blame Helicobacter. Symptoms of tumors of the stomach and duodenum are also recognized as a direct consequence of the vital activity of the harmful bacteria.
One fact remains a mystery: Helicobacter symptoms of the disease and its development does not provoke in all cases of its detection. In some individuals, it may well look like part of the microflora and coexist peacefully with the owner. This mystery has not yet been resolved in the scientific community, but the study of the microorganism has just begun!
It's all about what Helicobacter symptoms are. The treatment of the insidious enemy turned out to be very simple: the insidious bacterium could not resist the onslaught of serious antibiotics. This treatment was recognized as effective, fast and reliable: the disease did not relapse and did not require patients to follow the highest diet. Unfortunately, other ways to cure Helicobacter have not yet been invented. Of course, antibiotics can cause great harm to the body and even provoke dysbiosis, but in this case you do not have to choose. Traditional medicine offers as a concomitant treatment to take a mummy or decoction of chamomile, plantain, St. John's wort and marshmallow. However, even traditional healers here insist on taking a course of antibiotics.
Another question remains unsolved: how does Helicobacter enter the body? The answer is banal: dirty hands, non-compliance with other hygiene requirements. But ... one member of the family can get infected from another, even simply through a kiss! However, it is not a fact that all members of the infected family will fall ill - the body's resistance to various infections is different for everyone, so someone will not even notice the presence of the enemy. However, it is necessary to keep in mind this path of infection, because in this case we can talk about the infectiousness of gastritis!
What to do if you need to find out if a bacterium is present or not? You can donate blood to Helicobacter - from a vein, on an empty stomach. However, doctors recommend a breath test. The annotation says that even a child can carry it - do not believe it! Not every adult can breathe into a tube for 6 minutes without touching it with his tongue and sky. It is ideal to use this kind of test for children over 7 years old. Its plus is undeniable: reliability and instant result. Check yourself - perhaps this simple procedure will help you avoid gastritis and related troubles! Yes, by the way, European doctors are generally thinking about creating a vaccine against Helicobacter pylori - so seriously he angered them with his mere existence. But in Russia there is no talk about this yet.
