Hello friend,
With the question "How to treat stomach ulcers and HP bacteria?", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Stomach ulcers and HP bacteria infection, the chances are very high that an ulcer is an ulcer. caused by Helicobacter pylori. Therefore, the treatment will start with drugs to kill HP bacteria first and immediately after that will treat stomach ulcers.
Normally, the use of antibiotics to treat HP needs to last for at least 2 weeks and can be maintained for 4 - 8 weeks after that to completely cure peptic ulcers. However, HP bacteria are very susceptible to drug resistance. In addition, if after completing the treatment regimen, the patient does not pay attention to the lifestyle and daily diet such as: often staying up late, stress, drinking a lot of alcohol, etc., then the treatment process will persisted and the inflammation of the stomach still persisted. HP bacteria can be completely cured if the regimen is followed and a healthy lifestyle is followed.
However, there are currently many treatment regimens for HP bacteria, each with different treatment effectiveness according to each region. You should see a specialist, get a diagnosis and get the most appropriate treatment.
