So, what exactly is helicobacter pylori (HP)? What harm does it do to children? How did it spread? How to effectively treat?
Who is helicobacter pylori exactly?
Helicobacter pylori (HP) is the main cause of chronic gastritis and peptic ulcer. The bacteria can live in the gastric juice of patients for a long time and gradually erode the gastric mucosa. The infected person will have pantothenic acid, belching, abdominal pain and other symptoms. Severe long-term infection may lead to gastric ulcer, gastric perforation and even canceration.
Helicobacter pylori has become a major public health problem in China. According to reports, in patients with chronic active gastritis, the detection rate of helicobacter pylori is 95% ~ 100%; The detection rate of duodenal ulcer patients is 85% ~ 95%. The detection rate of gastric ulcer patients is 70% ~ 80%. The detection rate of gastric cancer patients is about 80%.
However, the research on children's stomach diseases has confirmed that the pathogenic bacteria causing gastritis and gastric ulcer in children are mainly helicobacter pylori. About 1/4 of gastric ulcer in children is caused by helicobacter pylori infection.
The infection rate of helicobacter pylori in children was 25% ~ 64.39%. China is a high incidence area for the infection of this bacterium, and the period of childhood is also a period of sharp increase in infection. However, once helicobacter pylori is infected, it will carry bacteria for decades and the natural eradication rate is low!
Mouth to mouth kiss children also can recruit? Yes!
Helicobacter pylori is a typical " disease enters from the mouth" bacterium. The specific transmission routes are: oral-oral transmission and fecal-oral transmission.
1. Oral-oral transmission is through close contact between people.
Mouth-to-mouth kisses between adults and children;
During family meals, use your own chopsticks to bring food to your children.
Chew the rice with your mouth and feed it to the children.
When feeding the children, blow the rice with your mouth to cool down and spit on the food.
Children use adults' drinking cups, toothbrushes, towels, washbasins, etc., which are easy to stick to saliva.
These behaviors often occur in our daily parenting and family life. Therefore, helicobacter pylori is most widely spread among families. If family members have the above behaviors, please try to correct them.
2. Fecal-oral transmission is through contaminated food and water.
Fecal-oral transmission is the main route of transmission of digestive tract infectious diseases. In popular terms, it means eating food and drinking water contaminated by feces containing pathogens to spread diseases. And helicobacter pylori is likely to spread through this way.
Therefore, we must pay attention to this aspect of health in our home life. Both adults and children must wash their hands before and after eating and defecating, and the toilet should be cleaned frequently.
In addition, a survey shows that the number of bacteria in the toilet faucet is 44 times that in the toilet seat! Therefore, in addition to the toilet at home, it is best to wash the sink and faucet of the toilet everyday.
The three main symptoms of Helicobacter pylori infection in children, don't be careless!
Clinically, recurrent abdominal pain, anorexia and emaciation are the three major symptoms of Helicobacter pylori infection in children.
Therefore, when children suffer from abdominal pain, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, belching, acid regurgitation, hematemesis, hematochezia, malnutrition, constipation, early satiety and other symptoms, the presence or absence of Helicobacter pylori infection should be considered first, and never be careless!
TIPS: How can children be tested for Helicobacter pylori infection when they go to the hospital?
Blood sampling test: not recommended, false positive and false negative may occur.
Gastroscope sampling and testing: not recommended, children are relatively exclusive and expensive.
Breath sampling test: 13C breath test is recommended for children. 13C breath test is non-radioactive and harmless to human body, and the detection rate and coincidence rate are higher (close to 100%), which can be used by patients of all ages. 13C breath test has been recognized as the best method to detect Helicobacter pylori.
Helicobacter pylori is so terrible, how to effectively treat it!
