Helicobacter - symptoms, treatment, diagnosis

Insidious bacterium helikobakter is not so old discovery in medicine, but knowledge about its vital activity radically changed the views of doctors on the development of such an unpleasant disease as gastritis of the stomach or duodenum. How many poor fellows had to follow a diet consisting of one oatmeal to reduce acidity in their stomach! And it turns out, it is not the fault of love for delicious and not very healthy food that is to blame, namely he is a small Helicobacter pylori, who without the notification of his carrier settles in the stomach.

Insidious helikobakter symptoms are the same as they were considered signs of gastritis: pain in the stomach, bad breath, digestive disorders. All is correct, because the breakdown of the stomach wall really takes place. However, the prerequisites for the mucous membrane of the stomach to cease to perform its functions and allow the acid to destroy the walls of our main digestive organ, creates Helicobacter. Symptoms appear after the bacterium, surrounded by a shell of alkali, adheres to the gastric mucosa and begins to multiply. A lot of small bacteria can disrupt the harmony of the body, thus causing gastritis. There are other reasons to blame helikobakter. Symptoms of tumors of the stomach and duodenum are also recognized as a direct consequence of the vital activity of a harmful bacterium.

One thing remains a mystery: Helicobacter symptoms and its development provoke not in all cases of its detection. In some individuals, it may well appear as part of the microflora and coexist peacefully with the host. This mystery has not yet found its solution in the scientific community, but the study of the microorganism has just begun!

It's all about what the symptoms of Helicobacter show. Treatment of the insidious enemy was very simple: the insidious bacterium could not resist the onset of serious antibiotics. This treatment is recognized effective, fast and reliable: the disease did not relapse and did not require patients to observe the fastest diet. Unfortunately, other ways how to cure Helicobacter, have not yet come up. Of course, antibiotics can cause enormous damage to the body and even provoke a dysbacteriosis, but in this case it is not necessary to choose. Traditional medicine offers as a concomitant treatment to take mummies or a decoction of chamomile, plantain, St. John's wort and marshmallow. However, even folk healers here insist on the course of antibiotics.

One more question remains unsolved: how does Helicobacter get into the body? The answer is banal: dirty hands, non-compliance with other hygiene requirements. But ... one family member can get infected from another even through a kiss! It is not a fact, however, that all members of the infected family will become ill - the resistance of the body to various infections varies from person to person, so somebody will not even notice the presence of the enemy. However, bear in mind, and this way of infection is necessary - in fact in this case we can talk about the contagiousness of gastritis!

What if I need to find out if there is a bacterium in the presence or not? You can donate blood to helikobakter - from the veins, on an empty stomach. However, doctors recommend a breath test. The annotation says that even a child can tolerate it - do not believe it! 6 minutes to breathe into the tube, without touching it with the tongue and the sky, and not every adult can. It is ideal to apply this kind of test for children over 7 years old. Its plus is undeniable: reliability and instant result. Check - perhaps this simple procedure will help you avoid gastritis and related troubles! Yes, by the way, Europe's doctors generally think about creating a vaccine against Helicobacter - so seriously he angered them with one of their existence. But in Russia, while talking about this is not conducted.
