Patient's question:
What does it mean to have gastritis, gastric polyps, and a positive Helicobacter pylori test after a thorough gastroscopic examination?Doctor's answer:
Gastritis is proven to have inflammation in the antrum of the stomach. If there are gastric polyps, it is recommended to check the pathology to determine the nature of the polyps. A positive Helicobacter pylori test indicates the presence of a contagious infection in the stomach, and gastritis may also be related to Helicobacter pylori infection. In this case, it is recommended to use medication to alleviate the condition. Oral medications such as amoxicillin, clarithromycin, omeprazole, and colloidal bismuth capsules can be used in combination to treat the infection.
