Sphinx: A healthy “invisible killer” in the stomach

In our body, there is a bacteria that is easily neglected but that can cause serious problems — the fungus. It’s a gland vaginal fungus that lives mainly in the human stomach and the 12-finger bowel.

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 produces substances such as urea enzymes, decomposes urea to produce ammonia, and thus forms a “amino cloud” protection layer around the fungus, so that it can reproduce in the stomach of a strong acid environment.

Sphinx is transmitted in a variety of ways, mainly through mouth and faeces. The mouth spreads, for example, by sharing utensils, cups, kissing, etc. The dung spreads through contaminated water sources or food. For example, in some areas with poor sanitation, when water sources are contaminated, people can be infected with cholesterocella.

Sphinx is closely related to many stomach diseases. It is the main cause of chronic stomach inflammation, chronic infection with cholesterol, repeated irritation and damage to gastric mucous membranes, inflammation, and symptoms of stomach pain, stomach swelling, nausea, vomiting, etc. It also triggers digestive ulcers, including stomach ulcers and ulcers. On the basis of its spiral structure, the fungus fungus is easily drilled through the gastric mucous membranes, causing damage to the gastrogen and the protective membranes of the small intestines, and when the gastric acid is overstretched, it forms an ulcer in the upper part of the stomach wall or the lower intestines, causing cyclical pain in the upper abdominal, anti-acid, gas, etc. Even more serious is the infection of cholesterocella, which is one of the major risk factors for stomach cancer. Although not all those infected develop into stomach cancer, it causes stomach inflammation and promotes the growth of upper pelvic stem cells in the stomach, which in turn causes stomach tumours. According to statistics, approximately 78 per cent of stomach cancer can be attributed to chronic infections.

There are a number of methods to detect the fungus. The urea respiration test is a common, non-intrusive method, in which patients take oral reagents containing marked urea and determine if they are infected, painless and convenient by detecting the urea decomposition products of the gas. A rapid urea enzyme test or pathological examination in a gastroscopy is desirable for stomach mucous tissue during a gastroscopy, which allows direct observation of the stomach and detection of cholesterocella, but for some pain and discomfort. The serobiology test determines whether the infection has been made by testing the blood antibodies of the fungus, but does not distinguish between the present or the past.

Treatment is usually required in the event of a confirmed infection with cholesterol. Treatment programmes are often combined with proton pump inhibitors, americants and antibiotics. For example, the usual ” Proton Pump Repressant + Americillin + Cracin” Quadtherapy, the course is 10 – 14 days. In the course of treatment, the patient is required to take the medication strictly in accordance with his or her medical instructions, so as to avoid a leak or a self-disposal, and so as to prevent the treatment from leading to a complete resistance to the fungus. The treatment is subject to review, and urea respiration tests or gastroscope tests are generally performed four weeks after the withdrawal to confirm the success of the eradication.

The prevention of cholesterol infection is essential. Every day, good hygiene practices are developed, such as hand washing before meals, as much as possible without eating raw, cold food, vegetables, fruits, or peeling; promotion of the use of public chopsticks, public spoons, family meal break-up or out-of-house meals, and regular disinfection of meals; maintenance of mouth cleaning and regular change of toothbrushes.

The fungus, though small, has a significant impact on stomach health. Knowledge about it and effective preventive and curative measures help us to protect our stomachs and improve the quality of life.
