Unexplained anemia, sudden weight loss, blood in the stool and severe stomach pain are just some of the symptoms of the presence of bacteria in the body that can cause stomach problems.
Helicobacter pylori is a resistant bacterium that is found on the mucous membrane of the human stomach, on sores in the oral cavity, dental plaque and stool.
It is the only bacteria that can survive in an acidic environment with a small amount of oxygen, and it can lead to long-term stomach problems.
The bacterium Helicobacter pylori causes chronic inflammation of the chronic gastritis type in 95 to 100 percent of infected people, in about twenty percent of cases it causes ulcer disease, and in one percent of people it can lead to the development of cancer.
Cause of gastritis and stomach ulcer
It was discovered relatively recently - in the eighties of the last century, so its recognition led to major advances in the treatment of ulcers that were previously thought to be caused by the consumption of spicy and acidic food, stress and bad lifestyle habits.
Although the mode of transmission of bacteria has not yet been fully investigated, it is clear that the infection is transmitted from an infected person to a healthy person through contact with stool, saliva or stomach contents.
An endoscopic examination easily reveals whether you have problems with the Heliobacter pylori bacteria, and it is especially recommended for people who suffer from unexplained anemia, sudden weight loss, blood in the stool and severe stomach pain, reports pozdovna.hr.
