Helicobacter pylori
H. pylori is a type of bacteria that infects your stomach. It attacks your stomach and the first part of your small intestine (duodenum). This can cause redness and swelling (inflammation). Many people with the bacteria won't have any symptoms. It can cause open sores called peptic ulcers in your upper digestive tract.
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection
Overview:-
Most people don't realize they have H. pylori infection because they never get sick from it. If you develop signs and symptoms of a peptic ulcer, your health care provider will probably test you for H. pylori infection. A peptic ulcer is a sore on the lining of the stomach (gastric ulcer) or the first part of the small intestine (duodenal ulcer).

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection occurs when H. pylori bacteria infect your stomach. This usually happens during childhood.
When to see a doctor:-
Make an appointment with your health care provider if you notice any signs and symptoms that may be gastritis or a peptic ulcer. Seek immediate medical help if you have:
- Severe or ongoing stomach (abdominal) pain that may awaken you from sleep
- Bloody or black tarry stools
- Bloody or black vomit or vomit that looks like coffee grounds
Symptoms:-
- An ache or burning pain in your stomach (abdomen)
- Stomach pain that may be worse when your stomach is empty
- Nausea
- Loss of appetite
- Frequent burping
- Bloating
- Unintentional weight loss
When signs or symptoms do occur with H. pylori infection, they are typically related to gastritis or a peptic ulcer and may include:
Material and methods: Patients with Helicobacter pylori-positive functional dyspepsia and no previous diagnosis of any psychiatric disorder were included in the study. All patients' symptoms were evaluated with a visual analog scale and Likert scale.
Results: At least one psychiatric disorder was diagnosed in 22 of 54 patients. The most common disorder was depression, found in 13 patients. Symptomatic response to treatment was significantly higher in functional dyspepsia patients with no psychiatric disorder compared to those with at least one psychiatric co-morbid disorder (84% vs. 50%; p=0.007).
Conclusion: Psychiatric co-morbid disorders are common in patients with functional dyspepsia and affect symptomatic response to Helicobacter pylori eradication treatment.
Background/aims: Helicobacter pylori infection and psychiatric disorders are implicated in the etiology. We aimed to determine the prevalence of psychiatric co-morbid disorders in patients with Helicobacter pylori-positive functional dyspepsia and the impact of existing psychiatric disorders on symptomatic response following eradication treatment
