Suggest Treatment For H.pylori Infection

H. pylori infection
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for posting your query,
I have gone through your query and can certainly understand your concern.
From the description you have provided, you seem to have symptoms pertaining to Helicobacter pylori infection. This is a form of bacteria which affects the stomach lining thereby causing symptoms like- abdominal discomfort, bloating, nausea, loss of appetite, unintentional weight loss.
I would suggest you to do the following:
- you may require an upper endoscopy done to look for any ulcers
- also an urea breath test or a stool antigen test may also be required to confirm h. pylori infection.
Once confirmed, you will be required to start on a course of antibiotics and proton pump inhibitors. Therefore, I would suggest you to consult with a gastroenterologist in your area for further management.
Hope this helps
