Approximately 40% of Americans have Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. Though the infection is usually asymptomatic, it can affect the lining of your stomach and cause peptic ulcers or gastritis. Manhattan Gastroenterology, which has three locations in New York City, is staffed with highly qualified doctors to diagnose and treat H. pylori infections in order to resolve gastrointestinal problems and improve your quality of life.
H. pylori or Helicobacter Pylori (most commonly referred to as “H. pylori”) is a medical condition isolated to the upper gastrointestinal tract and diagnosed by our gastroenterologists. It is the most common chronic stomach bacteria infection in humans. By some estimates, it may be present in up to one-half of the world’s population. The estimated prevalence is up to 70% in developing countries and 30 – 40% in the United States and other developed countries.
In most people, the bacteria will cause no symptoms and will have no long-term health effects. The bacteria is found in the stomach and can cause upper abdominal pain, bloating, and nausea in some patients. H.Pylori can lead to the formation of ulcers in the stomach or the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine) or even to stomach cancer in certain individuals. Although stomach cancer is uncommon as a result of H.pylori infection, it is a concern given how many individuals are infected with it worldwide. Experts don’t know why some individuals have no symptoms while others can have many problems because of this chronic infection.
