Hi,
Welcome to HCM!
H. pylori is a bacteria (Full name: Helicobacter pylori).
It basically causes increased secretion of gastric acid in your stomach. This leads to symptoms like Acidity, burning pain in stomach, chest burning pain, vomiting etc. In severe cases, it also leads to Gastric ulcers i.e ulcers in stomach.
H. pylori is often found in several patients who are totally asymptomatic.
There is a treatment regimen available for H. pylori infection and I strongly recommend you to take it.
Hope this information helps. Feel free to ask if you have any doubts.
Wishing you good health.
With warm regards,
Dr. Sridhar Reddy
