At present, there is no clinical probiotic specifically for the treatment of Helicobacter pylori, probiotics do not have a therapeutic effect on Helicobacter pylori, but can only improve gastrointestinal function and assist in the treatment of Helicobacter pylori.
H. pylori is parasitized in the stomach, and positive patients have an increased chance of developing chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer, gastric cancer, etc. Therefore, once found positive for H. pylori, timely eradication treatment is needed.
However, there is no probiotic that can specifically treat H. pylori. Probiotics mainly regulate the balance of intestinal flora after entering the gastrointestinal tract, whereas H. pylori parasitizes in the stomach, and probiotics can’t kill it. Taking probiotics can improve the intestinal microenvironment, promote digestion and absorption, and have a certain auxiliary effect on the treatment of Helicobacter pylori, but not a cure.
The treatment of H. pylori is mainly through quadruple therapy, which consists of one proton pump inhibitor (omeprazole, etc.) + two antibiotics (amoxicillin, clarithromycin, etc.) + one bismuth agent (bismuth potassium citrate, etc.), which has a better therapeutic effect, and it has been widely used in clinical practice.
Patients who are positive for Helicobacter pylori need to seek timely medical attention and under the guidance of a doctor for eradication treatment, and should not rely on probiotics. Drugs need to be used in strict accordance with the doctor’s instructions, not self-medication, so as not to delay or even aggravate the condition.
