Patient's question:
On the 20th, I had a thorough check of the gastroscopy and the Helicobacter pylori gastroscopy test results showed no issues. However, the Helicobacter pylori report stated that it was already positive with dpm=653. The doctor prescribed a few medications (see Figure 2) and asked me to take them for two weeks, then stop for two weeks, and then retest. Today, I went to another hospital for the retest, which was a 14C breath test, another method for Helicobacter pylori retesting. It involves drinking a medication first and then blowing into a device. The first time at the first hospital involved blowing into water, while this time at the other hospital, they gave me a small device to blow into. I don’t know if this will affect the two test reports. The latest test report (see Figure 3) is still positive, but the dpm=00215—what does this mean?Doctor's answer:
Upload twice to test for Helicobacter pylori results, medications for Helicobacter pylori infection, there are many methods to test for Helicobacter pylori, all of which you mentioned are breath tests. Due to different machines, the result ranges vary, so there is no comparability just by looking at the data. Wait and see for a while. Helicobacter pylori patients can use folk remedies as supplementary treatment in daily life while understanding symptomatic treatment. It is crucial to avoid excessive hunger or fullness in daily diet and never overeat or binge drink.
