What is a Helicobacter pylori positive disease?

Patient's question:

Patient is male, 48 years old, had a cold a week ago, this time the unit health check report said Helicobacter pylori positive, no symptoms?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, Helicobacter pylori can be detected in the gastric antrum. Helicobacter pylori is a common cause of gastritis and gastric ulcers. Therefore, if it is detected, it should be treated promptly. The triple therapy drugs commonly used to treat Helicobacter pylori now generally include omeprazole, clarithromycin, and amoxicillin. The combined use of these three drugs is very effective.
Doctor's advice: For severe Helicobacter pylori patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible and follow the doctor's advice for early treatment. Avoid switching to new medications arbitrarily, as this may lead to the opposite effect. The above opinions are for reference only.
It is hoped that the above answer can assist you. Thank you.
