A member asked:
What causes stomach infection and how is this treated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many possibilities: The most frequent cause is helicobacter pylori, which is a common cause of ulcer disease and can lead to cancer. There are many other organisms that can cause infection in the stomach, if you are using the term correctly. Stomach refers to a specific part of the GI tract. If you are using this word to describe the abdomen (which is common), there are many more bugs possible.
