2024-03-22
Feeling bloated after a large dinner or have frequent stomach pain? It might seem like the end of another Taco Tuesday, but these can very much be the signs of an H. pylori infection! Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a type of bacteria that infects your stomach and duodenum. When left untreated, H. pylori infections can lead to gastritis, stomach ulcers or even gastric cancer!
H. pylori infections are notoriously difficult to spot. While studies have shown that H. pylori has an infection prevalence of over 50% in Hong Kong, only around 20% of those infected develop symptoms. When detected H. pylori infections are generally simple to treat. Patients usually receive "triple therapy" by taking antibiotics for 1-2 weeks, a treatment that has mild side effects and can achieve a treatment efficacy of 85%.
Thankfully, there’s now a quick and easy way for you to spot an H. pylori infection at home using the UUTube by INDICAID Helicobacter Pylori Rapid Antigen Test! Here’s how:
