How long does it take h pylori to cause an ulcer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
From months to never: Most of the H pylori infections are asymptomatic. So presence of H pylori bacteria in the stomach doesn't mean peptic ulcer would develop BUT when we find ulcer we should always check for the H pylori infection. Thanks
