my wife was diagnosed with h pylori. the doctor gave her antibiotics and the bloating in her abdomen went down. A few weeks later, she swole up again. He referred her to a gastrogist. This doctor did a colonoscopy and sent off a biopsy. The doctors nurse called my wife back and said something about the h pylori was showing up, but it should have been gone. Tomorrow, the gastrologist is going to go through her mouth and get 3 biopsies to send off again. Does this necessarily mean that she has some kind of cancer?
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your wife has gastritis due to H. Pylori infection. It may be possible that still there is infection by h. pylori. It needs a long course of antibiotics and long course of proton pump inhibitor like pantoprazole or omeprazole. Doctor want to confirm the diagnosis that's why they are taking more biopsy. Biopsy does not mean cancer all times. So don't worry about cancer. Just be relaxed. Go for biopsy and give me follow up with report. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
