In our stomachs, there is a bacteria that is invisible to the naked eye — the fungus. Although small, it is closely linked to our health and has been the focus of medical research and public health concerns in recent years.
The fungus, which is a spiral or S, arc, lashes, micro-oxygen, is very demanding for the growing environment and can only survive for hours in the air, usually found in the stomach. It is transmitted mainly through mouths, such as shared dishes, water cups, kisses, etc., which can lead to the spread of the fungus between people. According to statistics, more than half of the world ‘ s population is infected with cholesterocella, and in some developing countries the rate is as high as 70-80 per cent.
Sphinx is closely linked to many stomach diseases. It is the main cause of chronic stomach disease, chronic infection with cholesterosomiasis and repeated inflammation of the gastric mucous membranes, causing symptoms of stomach pain, stomach swelling, nausea and vomiting. If not controlled, it may also develop into stomach ulcer, severe damage to the gastric mucous membranes and even complications such as stomach haemorrhage, perforation, etc. Even more serious is the fact that fungus infection is also one of the major risk factors for stomach cancer. About 78 per cent of stomach cancer can be attributed to chronic infections. It causes stomach inflammation, promotes the growth of upper pelvic stem cells in the stomach, which in turn causes stomach tumours.
However, the infection is not undetected. After the infection, many people experience upper abdominal pain or discomfort, and the nature of the pain is diverse, such as corrosive pain, swelling, burns, etc., and may be accompanied by abdominal swelling, especially when it is more evident after eating. Some suffer from nausea, vomiting, vomiting, which is mostly a stomach content, as well as signs of appetitelessness, anti-acid acidism and gas. However, there is also a group of patients who have no visible symptoms of infection, known as the non-asymptomatic infections, and who, although not ill, are still “spoiled” in their bodies, silently damaging the stomach mucous membranes and stomach health and may also be a potential source of infection.
For the detection of cholesterocella, the clinically used method is the carbon – 13 or carbon – 14 exhalation test, which is more acceptable to the patient by detecting the urea decomposition products of the gas that emit urea. A rapid urea enzyme test or pathological examination may also be carried out at the same time as a gastric mucous tissue in order to determine the presence of cholesterococcal infections. The sero-testing of cholesterococcal antibodies, while detectable, does not distinguish between current or former infections.
Treatment is usually required in the event of a confirmed infection with cholesterol. The treatment currently used is a combination of proton pump inhibitors, americium and antibiotics, with a general course of 10 – 14 days. However, a number of adverse effects may occur during treatment, such as gastrointestinal disorders caused by antibiotics, diarrhea, diarrhea, etc. The americ agent may lead to black poop, constipation, etc. The treatment is subject to review to ensure that the fungus is completely eliminated.
The prevention of cholesterol infection is essential. In everyday life, good hygiene practices are developed, such as hand-washing, especially after a meal; minimizing the use of cold food and drinking of raw water; and promoting the use of public chopsticks, spoons and, preferably, a meal-sharing system for family dinners to reduce the spread of the fungus to family members.
Although small, the potential threat to health is not negligible. Knowledge of it, prevention and testing and treatment help us to better protect our stomachs and enjoy a good life.
