Treatment for Helicobacter pylori infection

The treatment methods for Helicobacter pylori mainly include the following:

1. Triple therapy: This is currently the most commonly used regimen for eradicating H. pylori, consisting of one proton pump inhibitor combined with two antibiotics. The course of treatment usually lasts 10-14 days and effectively eliminates H. pylori.

2. Quadruple therapy: Based on triple therapy, bismuth compounds are added to further improve eradication rates, especially suitable for H. pylori strains resistant to certain antibiotics.

3. Sequential therapy: For the first 5 days, only a proton pump inhibitor plus one antibiotic is used, followed by the addition of another antibiotic for the next 5 days, aiming to reduce antibiotic exposure time and lower the risk of resistance development.

4. Pay attention to food hygiene, avoid consuming contaminated food, and reduce intake of irritating foods such as spicy, raw or cold, and greasy foods.

5. Maintain good lifestyle habits, regular作息 (作息 should be translated as "作息" is a Chinese term meaning rest and work patterns), appropriate exercise, and enhance body immunity.

All the above treatment methods should be conducted under a doctor's guidance to avoid self-medication or delayed treatment. Regular follow-up examinations are also required after treatment.
