10 H Pylori Symptoms

Symptom #3: Epigastric pain
Helicobacter pylori infection may cause chronic active gastritis in susceptible hosts. It may also be asymptomatic. This may cause a constant burning or aching pain in the epigastric region (upper central region) of the abdomen.
This pain is part of the symptoms that constitute dyspepsia, a term that also includes bloating, heartburn, belching, nausea, sensation of fullness after a small meal, and burping. It is important to note that dyspepsia is not exclusive for Helicobacter pylori- induced gastrointestinal diseases.
