A member asked:
Is h. pylori treatment with antibiotics necessary if your symptoms improve?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I would say: yes. Otherwise it would possibly be increasing your risk of stomach cancer over time. You are also at risk of developing a gastric ulcer which can bleed or perforate. Much better to get rid of it.
