Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a bacterium that infects the stomach lining, often contracted during childhood. While many carriers remain asymptomatic, some may experience abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, or develop peptic ulcers. Diagnosis involves tests such as blood assessments, breath analyses, or endoscopy with biopsy. Treatment typically includes a combination of antibiotics and acid-suppressing medications. If left untreated, H. pylori infection can lead to complications like peptic ulcers and increases the risk of stomach cancer.
Dr. Kapil Sharma, a leading gastroenterologist with extensive experience in treating H. pylori, could be the right specialist for your treatment.
