What are the harms of Helicobacter pylori to the body

If you do not pay attention to maintenance in your daily life, some physical illness symptoms may occur. For example, some bacterial and viral infections. When this happens, it will have a great impact on the normal health of the body. Therefore, we must pay special attention in normal times and take active preventive measures. So what are the harms of Helicobacter pylori to the body? Let us introduce it below.

Helicobacter pylori originally lives in the pylorus of the human body. Through continuous exploration in recent years, it has been found that it not only parasitizes on the gastric mucosa, but also in the oral cavity, and dental plaque is its larger reservoir.

The important toxic substance of Helicobacter pylori is urease, which can decompose urea in the mouth to produce unpleasant ammonia odor, so the presence of Helicobacter pylori is closely related to bad breath.

Recurrent oral ulcers are common in the general population, and more than 30% of patients also have a history of indigestion, gastric ulcers, etc. Injecting the isolated Helicobacter pylori culture fluid into the oral mucosa of experimental animals can cause lesions similar to oral ulcers, and it was found that the reproduction cycle of the bacteria is consistent with the recurrence cycle of oral ulcers.

In addition, Helicobacter pylori was detected in 80% of 150 cases of oral lichen planus, which shows its relationship with oral diseases.

It has now been further discovered that Helicobacter pylori is closely related to coronary heart disease, with the incidence rate in Helicobacter pylori-positive patients being twice as high as that in Helicobacter pylori-negative patients.

Therefore, people infected with Helicobacter pylori should use bismuth, gentamicin and other drugs to kill the bacteria, and ask the dentist to remove dental plaque in the mouth to prevent cross-infection through the oral-to-oral and oral-to-feces (polluted water sources).

The harms of Helicobacter pylori to the body are introduced above. These hazards are still very serious for the body. Therefore, we should take adequate preventive measures in time to avoid bacterial infections in normal times. In addition, when these bacterial infections occur, targeted treatment and control methods should be used in a timely manner.
