Patient's question:
8 years ago, I had an endoscopy, but they didn't tell me I had Helicobacter pylori. I wonder if this detailed check was missed?Doctor's answer:
General endoscopies usually include a check for Helicobacter pylori (HP): HP stands for Helicobacter pylori. You don't need to do a breath test if you want to check for HP. If you want to check for Helicobacter pylori, you can just have another endoscopy. In addition to timely treatment for Helicobacter pylori, patients should maintain a positive attitude to face the disease. Only in this way can they reduce their immunity and the belief to fight the disease. At the same time, they should pay more attention to their dietary care and closely monitor changes in their symptoms, believing that this will definitely drive away Helicobacter pylori.
