Patient's question:
Due to chronic, superficial, atrophic gastritis, the stomach stopped hurting after taking medication. A friend suggested getting tested for Helicobacter pylori. On December 23, 2011, the test result was 38.4. Using the number 4 as the dividing line between yin and yang, after taking medication again on February 8, 2012, the test result was 37.6, which was successful. Then, taking medication again, on March 16, the test result was 48.8, which was also successful. Both times, it was done as the doctor recommended. Please ask: Is it necessary to eradicate Helicobacter pylori?Doctor's answer:
Helicobacter pylori-induced stomach diseases have been confirmed to be one of the causes of certain stomach diseases, including active gastritis, peptic ulcers, and gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma. In addition to timely treatment, patients with Helicobacter pylori infection also need to pay attention to maintaining a good mood in daily life, as a positive mood is very helpful for the complete recovery from the disease. It is also important to exercise regularly and avoid being lazy, which can lead to a decline in physical resistance.
