WHAT MAY CAUSE OF BAD BREATH, BLOATING AND ANEMIA?
“Helicobacter pylori, one of the most common causes of infection known in the world, begins to get sick 10 years after transmission. What you need to know about helicobacter pylori, which causes anemia due to a lack of B12 vitamins, as well as a feeling of fullness after the meals, belching and a lack of iron,” said Turkish Gastroenterologist. The incidence of helicobacter pylori in Turkey aged 30 and up is about 50 to 60 percent, and in recent years, the incidence of helicobacter pylori has begun to fall at these rates due to good treatments and hygiene rules. The most important determinant of the incidence in society is socio-economic differences.
A high standard of living, a high level of education and having better health conditions ensure that the incidence of infection is low. The socio-economic structure is bad, the infrastructure and sewerage are bad, and the lack of adequate hygiene leads to a high incidence of bacteria in society. Crowded living and unhealthy living conditions are also a common cause of the bacterium.
.
HOW AND WHERE IS HELICOBACTER TRANSMITTED?
Helicobacter is transmitted by eating contaminated vegetables and fruits, not having clean food and drinking water. He does not get sick the day he is infected, he starts getting sick at least 10 years later. The bacterium settles on the gastric mucosa and, if left untreated, lives here for many years. Even if the Helicobacter settles in the stomach, it does not cause illness in everyone.
Although many people have a chronic helicobacter infection, it does not show any symptoms. Bacteria also cause different stomach diseases in humans. It can cause ulcers in some, gastritis in others, and rarely stomach cancer. Probably, the genetic structure of the person and the genetic structure of the bacterium also play a role in this.
.
WHAT HAPPENS IF HELICOBACTER PYLORI IS NOT TREATED?
The bacterium can cause acute and chronic gastritis, ulcer disease, lymphoma of the stomach, atrophic gastritis, intestinal metaplasia and stomach cancer in humans. About 20-30 years ago, stomach and duodenal ulcers were very common, but with proper Helicobacter pylori therapy, ulcer disease has now decreased a lot.
If the bacteria are not treated, there is a 1 percent risk of stomach cancer in the coming years. This risk is greater in those who smoke and drink alcohol, and those who have stomach cancer in their parents.
.
WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF HELICOBACTER PYLORI?
The bacterium also causes bad breath, flatulence, bloating, nausea, a feeling of fullness after eating, belching and iron deficiency, as well as anemia due to vitamin B12 deficiency. In cases of anemia, it should also be investigated whether there are helicobacters.
.
HOW IS HELICOBACTER DIAGNOSED?
For the diagnosis of the bacterium, endoscopy, urea breath test, gaita test are performed. Treatment is necessarily recommended for those who have a stomach complaint. If there are bacteria and there are no complaints, treatment is not recommended.
.
HOW IS HELICOBACTER TREATED?
Nowadays, when used together with appropriate antibiotics and stomach protectors, helicobacter is destroyed and great success is achieved in treatment.
