2. Helicobacter pylori is closely related to gastric cancer.
3, as the saying goes, "ten people and nine stomachs", the stomach is uncomfortable, and various stomach diseases have become a common problem of contemporary people. An epidemiological survey shows that the infection rate of Helicobacter pylori (HP) is still high in some countries or regions, and the detection rate of HP in the stomachs of different regions and nationalities in China is about 30% ~ 70%.
However, most people have no obvious symptoms after infection and may not get sick. According to reports: because there is no nerve in the stomach of the human body, it is difficult for people to detect that there is something wrong with the stomach. By the time they find out, they are already seriously ill. Helicobacter pylori infection can cause chronic gastritis with symptoms such as bad breath, epigastric discomfort, dull pain, sometimes belching and acid regurgitation. The course of the disease is slow and the feeling is not obvious, but it is easy to relapse.
Helicobacter pylori can also lead to a serious consequence-gastric cancer. According to the report of the World Health Organization, about 50% of gastric cancer is related to Helicobacter pylori. A study by Kyushu University in Japan shows that the occurrence of gastric cancer is not only closely related to people's eating habits, but also an infectious disease. Gastritis and peptic ulcer caused by Helicobacter pylori have turned gastric cancer into an oral infectious disease. In 2008, a report published in the famous academic magazine The Lancet also pointed out that eradication of Helicobacter pylori after gastric cancer surgery can reduce the recurrence rate of gastric cancer.
