Don't be fooled by "anti-you toothpaste"!

"Pylori Guard, a national patented strain; prevent gastric cancer, never have bad breath; pregnant women can use it, medical grade.

What is Helicobacter pylori? Why are they called "ghosts" in the stomach? Why "Anti-Pylori Toothpaste" Can't Prevent Helicobacter Pylori Infection? How to prevent, detect and treat Helicobacter pylori infection? Medical experts from Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Cancer Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and other institutions gave authoritative answers

What is Helicobacter pylori? What are the main hazards?

Helicobacter pylori is a microaerophilic gram-negative bacillus with a spiral shape that is capable of long-term colonization in the human stomach and causes chronic inflammation, which can be transmitted through oral and fecal-oral transmission

How dangerous is Helicobacter pylori infection? According to Yan Xuemin, an attending physician in the Department of Gastroenterology of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Helicobacter pylori infection is the main cause of gastritis and peptic ulcer, and it is also a high-risk factor for gastric cancer

Yan Xuemin said that most people infected with Helicobacter pylori have no symptoms and complications, but almost all of them have chronic active gastritis

Helicobacter pylori infection is also an important pathogenic factor of gastroduodenal ulcer, and is closely related to the occurrence of gastric cancer and gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma

In addition, the "combat effectiveness" of Helicobacter pylori is also very strong

Why "Anti-Pylori Toothpaste" Can't Prevent Helicobacter Pylori Infection?

"Helicobacter pylori colonization in the stomach" is a scientific characteristic of the bacteria, so there is no scientific basis for relying on toothpaste and toothbrushing to prevent or treat Helicobacter pylori infection

Unscrupulous merchants often take advantage of consumers' fear of stomach cancer to promote products with false propaganda

In order to evade supervision, some "anti-you toothpaste" packages are written with "machine number" and "elimination number", and the batch number is also advertised

How to prevent, detect and treat "Helicobacter pylori" infection?

Experts said that the high infection rate of Helicobacter pylori in China may be related to the habit of sharing meals

Implementing the disinfection of tableware, the implementation of public chopsticks, and the meal-sharing system are the most effective means to prevent Helicobacter pylori infection

In addition, the occurrence and development of the disease is also related to many other factors, such as eating habits, living habits, genetic factors and so on

Relevant experts from the Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences suggested that if you want to detect whether you are infected with Helicobacter pylori, it is recommended to do a fecal Helicobacter pylori antigen test in a regular hospital, followed by a C-13 urea breath test

Experts say patients don't need to be overly nervous even if an infection is confirmed

Quadruple therapy is more commonly used, that is, two antibiotics, bismuth and acid suppressants are taken in combination for about two weeks
