A member asked:
What are the chances of h. plyori leading to stomach cancer, if it is a risk factor? do symptoms of this infection wax and wane? or are they persistent?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
There is an increased risk of stomach cancer in a persistent infection with H Pylori but the exact percentage is not known. It is a risk factor. Symptoms can wax and wane or persist depending on many factors like the immune response of the body and length of infection etc.
