Is there a necessary connection between gastric ulcer and Helicobacter pylori?

Patient's question:

I am 34 years old. Recently, I don't know why I always feel nauseous and like vomiting. My stomach aches sometimes with symptoms of burning and acid reflux. I went to the hospital, and it got better for a while, but then it started again. Is there a necessary connection between gastric ulcer and Helicobacter pylori?

Doctor's answer:

If a patient is diagnosed with Helicobacter pylori infection, the presence of this bacterium may lead to additional conditions such as supplementary ulcers or erosive gastritis. There is a significant relationship. If a patient is diagnosed with gastric ulcer, it is recommended to follow the doctor's advice and take medication regularly. Generally, a triple or quadruple therapy is suggested, which includes the use of antacids, gastric mucosal repair agents, and some anti-inflammatory drugs for treatment.
