4 signs that the stomach contains HP bacteria that can easily cause cancer

In daily life, there are many types of bacteria that exist around humans. If we do not pay attention and take appropriate measures, our bodies will be infected with harmful bacteria.

One of the most common dangerous bacteria today is Helicobacter Pylori (HP), the leading cause of stomach diseases such as stomach ulcers and even stomach cancer.

Here are four signs that bacteria are growing too much in your stomach that you need to pay attention to:

1. Diarrhea and vomiting

When using unsanitary food, people can get food poisoning, causing vomiting and diarrhea. However, in the case of using food sources of guaranteed quality, your body suddenly shows signs of vomiting as well as diarrhea continuously, it can be a sign of HP bacteria infection.

2. Bad breath

When the body is infected with HP, it can affect the mouth by producing bad, unpleasant odors that cannot be removed by toothpaste or cleaning agents such as mouthwash.

3. Low morale

In normal life, if your spirit suddenly declines, you have no interest in anything, always feel unwell and lethargic. Poor digestion, slow digestion, bloating and lack of vitality, you are most likely being "tortured" by HP bacteria.

4. Stomach ache

When your stomach has pain or burning in the upper abdomen, the pain increases when hungry, nausea even when there is no food in the stomach. Dry mouth, vomiting early in the morning, loss of appetite, heartburn, bloating, weight loss, anemia, iron deficiency of unknown cause are also some of the symptoms of the body being infected with Helicobacter Pylori bacteria.

HP transmission routes:

- Oral transmission: HP bacteria are found in saliva, tartar, and the oral cavity of infected people. Therefore, they are transmitted from one person to another when sharing toothbrushes, chopsticks, spoons, kissing, or when a mother chews rice for her child.

- Transmission through the fecal-oral route: HP bacteria are excreted through the feces of the patient, so infection can occur when hands are not cleaned properly after defecation and before eating, or can be transmitted through insects such as flies, cockroaches, rats...

- Transmitted through the stomach - mouth: People with HP bacteria in the stomach, when having reflux or heartburn, can push the bacteria up to the mouth along with gastric juice.

- Gastrointestinal transmission: This is a very important route of infection because it occurs during endoscopy at medical facilities. When performing a gastroscopy on a patient with HP bacteria, if the probe is not cleaned sufficiently, HP bacteria will infect healthy people.
