About H. Pylori Infection
The bacterium Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a common type of bacteria that infects the stomach. For many, this infection goes unnoticed and never causes any symptoms. However, for some individuals, it can lead to inflammation and sores in the lining of the stomach or the upper part of the small intestine, also known as the duodenum. In rare cases, an H. pylori infection can even be a risk factor for stomach cancer.
An H. pylori infection is widespread, affecting about half of the world's population at some point in their lives. It is the most frequent cause of peptic ulcers, which are painful open sores in the digestive tract.
The bacteria typically spread from person to person. Transmission can also occur through contaminated food, water, or utensils, as well as through direct contact like kissing. Once H. pylori enters the body, it multiplies within the stomach's protective lining. This weakens the lining, making it more vulnerable to damage from stomach acid and increasing the likelihood of an ulcer forming.
