pylori infection is a bacterium that can be transmitted by the mouth-to-mouth or faecal-to-mouth route. Common modes of transmission include close contact within the family, sharing dishes, sharing sanitary facilities, etc., and can be considered an infectious disease. Failure to pay attention to infection can lead to gastritis, gastric ulcers, duodenal ulcers, and other stomach diseases.

Patients should complete treatment as directed by their doctor, and do not stop treatment early even if symptoms are relieved or disappeared. Complete treatment helps ensure that the bacteria are eliminated and reduces the risk of recurrence.
