Patient's question:
Yesterday, my mother had a thorough examination of her stomach at the hospital and found that the amount of Helicobacter pylori was as high as 2050. Hello, what kind of inflammation does this amount cause? Will it lead to stomach cancer? Can it be transmitted to family members?Doctor's answer:
The most common condition caused by high levels of Helicobacter pylori is gastrointestinal ulcers, including gastric ulcers and duodenal ulcers. The outward symptom is severe bad breath. It is generally never transformed into cancer. Only less than 1% of gastric ulcers can transform into gastric cancer, so you don't need to worry about this issue. If you live closely together, especially if you share meals, you can get infected. You should eat separately and seek medical treatment immediately. The treatment mainly involves PPI inhibitors plus two types of antibiotics, and the treatment is relatively simple.
