H. pylori (Helicobacter pylori) is a type of bacteria that infects the stomach, causing chronic inflammation of the stomach lining. It can lead to stomach and duodenal ulcers, and in some cases, may increase the risk of stomach cancer.

What is an H. pylori Test?

An H. pylori test is used to detect the presence of Helicobacter pylori bacteria in the stomach. It helps determine if these bacteria are the cause of your symptoms, such as:

Stomach pain or burning.
Nausea and vomiting.
Abdominal bloating.
Loss of appetite or unexplained weight loss.
Indigestion.

Types of H. pylori Tests:

There are several types of H. pylori tests, including:

Urea Breath Test: This is the most common test. It measures the level of carbon dioxide in your breath after you consume a special urea substance.
Stool Antigen Test: This test detects H. pylori antigens in a stool sample.
Blood Antibody Test: This test measures antibodies produced by the body in response to the H. pylori bacteria.
Biopsy: A small tissue sample is taken from the stomach lining during an endoscopy and examined under a microscope for the presence of H. pylori.
