Helicobacter Pylori Check
Stool test to detect active Helicobacter pylori infection.
Stool test to detect active Helicobacter pylori infection.
Additional Information
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a bacteria that infects the stomach and is the most common infection in the world. H. pylori can damage the stomach’s lining making it more vulnerable to stomach acid, and those infected with this bacteria are more likely to develop stomach inflammation (gastritis) and more serious conditions such as peptic ulcers and cancer of the stomach. Unlike a blood test, a stool test can tell you if you currently have H. pylori bacteria in your stomach and thus have an active infection. A positive test result indicates the presence of a current infection and is not affected by the presence of other organisms, antacids, barium sulphate, blood or fat. If you’re diagnosed with a stomach ulcer caused by H. pylori, your doctor is likely to treat you with a mix of antibiotic medicines and acid suppressing medication to kill the bacteria.
