What should stomach cancer patients pay attention to when eating in public?

Be careful to use communal chopsticks.

H. pylori is an important factor in the development of gastric cancer, and infection with H. pylori is closely related to chronic gastric disease, precancerous lesions and gastric cancer. The doctor will usually give anti-H. pylori treatment to patients with gastric cancer when they are hospitalized.

H. pylori can be transmitted to each other through saliva, for example, if you often eat with an infected person, you are more likely to be infected. In addition, intimate actions such as kissing between lovers or couples can also greatly increase the risk of transmission. For gastric cancer patients, it is recommended to use public chopsticks for the sake of safety whether eating at home or out to avoid being infected by H. pylori carriers after eradication. The infection can increase the risk of recurrence of stomach cancer, and it becomes less likely to be cured.
