The spread rate of one bacterium in China is quite high, and nearly 60% of the Chinese people are infected with the bacterium, and it is a person who infects the whole family.
What's even more frightening is that this bacterium has been included in The Class 1 carcinogen, which is the only bacterium that can survive in the stomach, and it is also one of the perpetrators behind the stomach cancer, and this bacterium is the legendary: Helicobacter pylori!
In China, the rate of infection of the bacterium is increasing at an annual rate of 1%, and in patients with chronic active gastritis, the infection rate of the bacterium has reached more than 90%.
The reason why it has not been found by humans is because after infection, most people do not have any symptoms, and only a very small number of people will develop stomach ulcers, gastritis and other diseases.
So the question is, they are all human, why is the infection rate of Helicobacter pylori in China so high?
1. Family transmission: relevant medical experts have clearly pointed out that Helicobacter pylori can be seen as a family aggregation disease in a broad sense.
There are relevant data reports that the average infection rate of the bacterium among children on the mainland has reached more than 40%, and its important way is to spread within the family.
When one person in a family is infected with Helicobacter pylori, the chance of other members being infected with Helicobacter pylori will also increase significantly, which is mainly related to Chinese eating habits;
2, eating habits: In fact, if you are used to eating Western food, Japanese food, you will find that their food will choose to divide the meal system, tableware is also used separately.
However, in China, it is completely different, our daily tableware is used together, and the food is mixed together, which just leaves room for the development of Helicobacter pylori.
Because Helicobacter pylori is mainly transmitted by two ways, that is, oral transmission and fecal-oral transmission.
If you share tableware for a long time, use a shared meal system, or do not pay attention to food safety and hygiene, do not have good hygiene habits, etc., it is easy to cause bacteria to spread to each other;
3, living together to hide the source of infection: human beings are social animals, for Chinese pay more attention to family affection and unity, the family often live together.
If one of them is infected with the bacteria, but they don't have any symptoms, or even know they are infected.
In this case, there is no such thing as protection, which in turn leads to many people infected with Helicobacter pylori without knowing it, and then transmitted to more people through other channels;
4, childhood infection: as mentioned above, the probability of children being infected with Helicobacter pylori is quite large, and it shows a trend of increasing year by year, the more rural areas, children living with grandparents, the more susceptible to infection.
Because many people still maintain the traditional feeding habits, such as mouth-to-mouth feeding, blowing food for children to cool, and using their mouths to test the temperature of food, etc., this will lead to children being infected with Helicobacter pylori.
All in all, the rate of transmission of Helicobacter pylori on the mainland is quite alarming, but there is no need to panic too much.
Because among these infected people, less than 1/10 of them will have gastrointestinal diseases.
Less than 1% of people may become cancerous, and this is based on long-term illness and recurrent diseases.
Other infected people basically have no symptoms, will not affect their lives, and do not need special treatment.
However, if you have obvious symptoms of gastrointestinal discomfort, acute and chronic diseases such as gastric ulcers or inflammation, long-term need to take pazole drugs, long-term need to take non-Zi body anti-inflammatory drugs and other people, for the sake of safety, you should seek medical advice in time, and completely kill Helicobacter pylori under the advice of the doctor.
