There is a letter from a reader who recently suffered from stomach disease. When he went to the hospital for examination, the doctor asked to check for Helicobacter pylori. Is this a must and how to check specifically? In this regard, Hainan Daily interviewed director Han, chief physician of gastroenterology department of a hospital in Hainan Province. Afraid of stomach disease how to do? Teach you how to detect Helicobacter pylori.
Helicobacter pylori is an important cause of gastric disease, but it is not an absolute factor. It was first isolated from gastric mucosa biopsy of patients with chronic active gastritis in 1983. It is the only microbial species that can survive in human stomach.
Director Han said that Helicobacter pylori is a kind of bacteria that can grow in the stomach, which can lead to gastritis, peptic ulcer, and is closely related to gastric cancer. Early detection of whether it is infected with this bacterium and appropriate medicine will reduce the chance of gastrointestinal inflammation, ulcer and other diseases. Suggestion, once got stomach disease, can consider to do Helicobacter pylori examination, check whether the index is normal.
At present, there are three main methods to check Helicobacter pylori: gastroscopy, oral carbon 13 (full name: carbon 13 urea breath test), uremic enzyme examination, etc.
It is understood that the cost of gastroscopy is higher, the examination process is more troublesome and will bring pain to patients.
Carbon 13 urea breath test is a kind of medical test used to detect Helicobacter pylori. It is the latest, fast, painless and radiation-free detection technology of Helicobacter pylori. It does not need to do gastroscopy. It only needs to exhale easily and determine the exhaled components. It can immediately detect whether there is Helicobacter pylori infection. The accuracy of the results is as high as 97%.
Another one is through the uremic enzyme test. Helicobacter pylori can produce a large number of uremic enzymes in human stomach, and only Helicobacter pylori can produce this enzyme, so it is possible to diagnose Helicobacter pylori infection by examining uremic enzymes.
Director Han said that, like other digestive tract infectious diseases, the key to the prevention of Helicobacter pylori infection is to get the disease through the mouth. We should wash our hands before and after meals, and pay more attention to hygiene when eating raw and cold food, which can avoid Helicobacter pylori infection.
If you find stomach disease, you should check ZL in time. It's the biggest mistake to leave it untreated. "A healthy stomach has a gastric mucosal barrier, which has a perfect self-protection function. Once the barrier is broken, it is easy to get stomach disease.". If your stomach is delicate, you should provide food for the beneficial bacteria in your body, promote the rapid proliferation of bifidobacteria, and regulate the balance of gastrointestinal flora. Only in this way can we establish a biological barrier, secrete immune factors and improve the body's immunity. If you have a bad stomach or have been troubled by gastrointestinal problems for a long time, you can help to repair and improve it by daily consumption of prebiotic fructooligosaccharides. This is not a drug. It's better to take it regularly and quantitatively. It's good to drink yogurt, supplement probiotics or zangling stachyose sooner or later. All these are to supply food for beneficial bacteria in the body and inject new vitality into a better life.
