Q: 2 years ago had stomach pain, found it was h pylori. stupidly forgot to finish meds, however i havent had pain in over a year. what's the chance of h pylori being present, and my cancer risk?

: If you have no symptoms the chances are you do not have H Pylori. The only way to know for sure is to get tested. H Pylori increases the risk but does not by itself cause cancer
