4. H. Pylori
H. Pylori is a very common bacterium that infects the stomach. Indeed, it is suspected that approximately 50% of people worldwide will have been infected with it. Fortunately, the majority of people with bacteria will show no symptoms. When symptoms do arise, they are unpleasant but not usually something to be concerned about provided treatment is available.
H. Pylori is also responsible for the majority of ulcers, and the severity of these can vary considerably from person to person. In some cases, H. Pylori infections can also lead to stomach cancer. If you are experiencing symptoms of a stomach infection, you should visit a doctor if the symptoms are too severe.
