A member asked:

What is h. pylori and gastritis? should i be concerned with the possibilities? what are the risk factors if any?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

H. Pylori: H. Pylori is a bacteria that can live in stomach and cause gastritis which is an inflammation in the stomach. It can be treated with a course of antibiotics and acid medicine. If its treated and eradicated then there is no further concern. Untreated it can cause ulcers and rarely stomach cancer.
