Top 1 in Top 10 causes of stomach cancer you need to know.
HP bacteria (Helicobacter pylori) is a bacterium living in the mucous layer that protects the gastric mucosa. To weaken the mucous protective layer of the stomach, HP bacteria have secreted gastric stimulants to produce more acid, while creating some toxins that injure the cells located beneath the mucous layer. This effect causes the gastric mucosa to be easily corroded by the acid that is in the digestive fluid of the stomach, thereby causing an inflammation of the gastric-duodenal ulcer.
HP bacteria mainly spread through sugar, saliva, feces, digestive juices in families with a common eating habit. The infectious process occurs when the use of food or drinking water does not guarantee hygiene, containing bacteria.
