This person is about 40 years old, 2 years ago diagnosed with low autoimmune arthritis.To treat the disease, patients must use biological agents, a drug that has the effect of inhibiting immunogenitis.Dr. Liu Boren warned that the use of this drug may increase the risk of infection, tuberculosis, even a few cases that can lead to tumors.
After checking, she discovered that she was infected with HP (Helicobacter pylori) in the stomach.Dr. Liu Boren on the regimen of stomach re -examination and antibiotic treatment for 2 weeks.However, this woman had an appointment with him, did not want to treat HP because it was not dangerous, I did not feel uncomfortable and wanted to save costs after healing arthritis.
Until recently, she returned to the hospital because she was not delicious, her stomach was uncomfortable and lost weight very quickly.As a result, she was diagnosed with stage 4 stomach cancer, which was determined by HP infection.She was extremely regretful that two years ago was subjective, lost with Dr. Liu Boren but it was all too late!
Be careful with HP bacteria - "assassin" causes stomach cancer
According to Dr. Liu Boren, many people do not know about the popularity and danger of HP bacteria.In fact, they are only less common than tooth decay infections, meaning anyone can be infected.Meanwhile, this bacterium is dubbed the "assassin" with the stomach because statistics indicate about 80 - 90% of stomach cancer cases are caused by HP infections.
Specifically, this bacteria live and grow in human stomach.They have a special urease enzyme mechanism that helps adapt to the acidic environment of the stomach.The development and their activity damage the stomach lining, causing inflammation - stomach ulcers, duodenum, even untreated will cause stomach cancer.
When HP bacteria invade and harm the body, there will be symptoms such as:
- Pain or burning in the upper region (upper abdomen).
- Nausea, vomiting.
- Abdominal distention, flatulence.
- Heartburn, heartburn.
- Unusual bad breath.
- Feeling indigestion, prolonged anorexia.
- Losing weight for unknown reasons.
- Going out of black stool (in case of ulcerative ulcer or gastric hemorrhage).

These signs may be unclear or easily confused with other pathological symptoms, so timely examination and testing is very important.The treatment of HP bacteria is very effective but it is important to strictly follow the antibiotic combined with stomach acid inhibitors for about 1-2 weeks.
However, if not properly followed or anti -drug bacteria, the treatment may last longer and more complicated.The re -infection after treatment is also a problem to note, so patients need to take precautions and check periodically.
In the case of the above woman, she lost an appointment with the doctor, ignoring the treatment regimen as well as many initial signs.In the end, she had to pay for her subjectivity with a "bitter end" of stomach cancer.She proactively shares her story with the hope that this will be a wake -up scene for everyone, especially the person who is being treated.
