H. pylori is the main cause of gastric diseases such as chronic gastritis and gastric ulcers. Most of the patients are usually less likely to have a recurrence, mostly around 5%~10%, after they have been cured with regular treatment using quadruple medication and by maintaining good dietary habits, such as washing hands before and after meals, avoiding sharing chopsticks as much as possible, avoiding overeating and drinking, and sterilizing tableware on a regular basis.
If the patient has H. pylori recurrence, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time, under the guidance of the doctor, improve the relevant examination and take appropriate treatment.
