Patients with gastric diseases generally know that Helicobacter pylori (HP) is the main pathogenic factor of gastric cancer. It is a kind of micro-anaerobic bacteria, parasitic in the stomach and adhering to the gastric mucosa and intercellular space. It is spiral, micro-aerobic, and very harsh on the growth environment. It is the only microorganism known to survive in human stomach. It is said that highly alcoholic liquor can kill Helicobacter pylori. Is this statement true? How should helicobacter pylori positive be treated?

Can high alcohol kill Helicobacter pylori?

Drinking high-alcohol liquor can't kill Helicobacter pylori. First of all, we often say that the sterilization effect is 75% alcohol, and the general liquor can not reach this concentration, nor can it achieve the effect of sterilization and disinfection. Even high-alcohol liquor above 70 degrees will be diluted if it is eaten with other foods. Even if you drink it on an empty stomach, it will be diluted and destroyed by gastric juice, and some of it will be absorbed by the stomach, which will not play a bactericidal role at all, but will increase the stimulation to the gastric mucosa, leading to gastrointestinal bleeding or alcoholism. So although alcohol can sterilize in vitro, it doesn't mean that drinking high alcohol can kill Helicobacter pylori in vivo. Moreover, drinking alcohol will cause damage to the digestive tract, but it is easy to cause digestive tract ulcers.

How should helicobacter pylori infection be treated?

(1) drug therapy

If you find yourself infected with Helicobacter pylori, the most reliable way is to go to the hospital to find a doctor to take medicine. To eradicate Helicobacter pylori, it is usually necessary to use two antibiotics (such as amoxicillin+clarithromycin)+proton pump inhibitor (lazole drugs)+bismuth (bismuth potassium citrate, etc.). ) four days. After a course of treatment, stop taking medicine for no more than 1 month to check whether Helicobacter pylori turns negative. If it turns negative, it means that the virus succeeded.

(2) Pay attention to life hygiene

In addition to medication, we should also pay attention to prevention in daily life. Helicobacter pylori is mainly transmitted through hands, dirty tableware, feces and other ways. Therefore, paying attention to food hygiene, washing hands frequently, eating properly, regular work and rest, balanced nutrition, regular diet, and strengthening exercise in daily life are very helpful to reduce the infection rate of Helicobacter pylori, reduce repeated infections, and prevent post-infection stomach diseases.
