Friends who are troubled by stomach distension, stomachache, acid regurgitation, etc. often give themselves the title of “old stomach trouble” and then start to nourish their stomachs without investigating the reason.
In fact, [old gastropathy] is also divided into many situations: mild gastritis, functional dyspepsia, gastric ulcer and gastroesophageal reflux; Serious gastric cancer.
The purpose of dividing [old stomach diseases] into such details is to treat them in a targeted way and improve the curative effect. For example, for acute gastritis, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs should be stopped first to avoid unclean diet, etc. For gastric cancer, surgery and chemotherapy should be considered.
To catch fish, one must catch one’s cheeks, otherwise it is all in vain. This is also the truth when dealing with stomach problems. Only by clarifying the causes and root causes of [old stomach diseases] can targeted treatment get twice the result with half the effort.
The following doctor clove will tell you how to clarify the cause of [old stomach trouble] and then treat it accordingly.
There are many reasons for gastropathy, and pylori infection cannot be ignored.
Drug stimulation (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), alcohol stimulation, unclean food, mood factors, Helicobacter pylori infection, etc. are all related to the occurrence of gastropathy.
Among them, Helicobacter pylori infection is more worth mentioning. Current studies have confirmed that gastritis, dyspepsia, peptic ulcer, gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma and gastric cancer are all related to Helicobacter pylori.
Blow a breath to confirm Helicobacter pylori infection
There are many reasons for stomach discomfort, and various examinations are often used when clarifying the reasons, such as gastroscopy, barium meal examination, breath test, etc.
However, when determining whether there is Helicobacter pylori infection, the most commonly used test, namely [carbon 13 breath test], can be completed by blowing, which is very simple and convenient.
If the breath test shows [positive], the presence of Helicobacter pylori infection can usually be determined.
Eradicate Helicobacter Pylori and [Solve] Many Gastropathy
Eradication of Helicobacter pylori can effectively prevent recurrence of peptic ulcer. In some gastritis patients with dyspepsia, symptoms such as abdominal distension and abdominal discomfort can be significantly improved after eradication of Helicobacter pylori. At the same time, a study in China found that the incidence of gastric cancer decreased by 39% after 15 years of follow-up after eradication of Helicobacter pylori.
But does pyloric screw infection need to be eradicated? The answer is not so sure, or depends on the situation.
China’s Current Expert Opinion:
- For asymptomatic Helicobacter pylori infection, eradication of Helicobacter pylori is not recommended. However, people with positive Helicobacter pylori and gastric diseases such as peptic ulcer, chronic gastritis and dyspepsia, or long-term use of proton pump inhibitors (such as omeprazole, pantoprazole, etc.) and family history of gastric cancer should be treated for eradication of Helicobacter pylori.
However, there are new viewpoints suggesting that Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy should be carried out as long as Helicobacter pylori infection is found.
Correct Eradication of Helicobacter Pylori
At present, the recommended scheme is [proton pump inhibitor + bismuth + two antibiotics] quadruple therapy. Clarithromycin and amoxicillin are usually selected as antibiotics. For areas with high clarithromycin resistance, furazolidone or tetracycline with better sensitivity is recommended, and the course of treatment is recommended to be 14 days.
The first eradication treatment of Helicobacter pylori is relatively simple. Under the guidance of experienced doctors, sufficient and sufficient courses of treatment are required to eradicate Helicobacter pylori. Individualized treatment is required when patients who have not been eradicated for the first time continue to be eradicated. The use of antibiotics can be determined according to the drug sensitivity test of Helicobacter pylori.
Although Helicobacter pylori infection is related to various gastropathy, it is not the only pathogenic factor. Diet, mood and genetic factors are all related. I hope that friends with [gastropathy] problems can look at it comprehensively and have a definite object in view.
