Is chronic gastritis contagious? Is acute gastroenteritis contagious?

Many people have always thought that stomach diseases are not contagious, and it is true that in the past, in the general understanding of the general public, stomach diseases were not infectious diseases, so if the average family member suffered from stomach problems, most people would not take precautions to prevent stomach diseases from spreading.

However, Dr. Chen Jingzhou, director of the East Coast** Hospital, said stomach problems are contagious because patients may be infected with a bacterium called Helicobacter pylori

Pylori (HP) microorganisms.

In the past, chronic gastritis was often regarded as related to gastric acid secretion, smoking, and diet. However, in recent years, medical studies have found that in addition to factors such as excessive gastric acid secretion, Helicobacter pylori is also the culprit that leads to peptic ulcers and chronic gastritis.

Dr. Chan said that Helicobacter pylori is acid-resistant, not afraid of stomach acid corrosion, and is a bacterium that lives in the digestive tract. However, most patients usually do not know that they are infected with Helicobacter pylori, and they often find out that they are infected with Helicobacter pylori after a series of tests after abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, indigestion and other symptoms.

Dr Chan said that for the sake of safety, patients with stomach problems should seek medical check-ups as soon as possible, such as blood tests or barium photography to determine whether they are infected with Helicobacter pylori.

If a patient with gastritis is found to be positive for Helicobacter pylori infection, he must be treated with anti-Helicobacter pylori (HP)**, many patients ignore this, and as a result, although they continue to be treated, the condition is still reversed, and the stomach disease cannot be completely cured.

Dr. Chen Jingzhou said: "This type of stomach disease patient** has a high chance of recovery, if it is combined with antibiotics and stomach medicine**, it usually only takes one week to 10 days to recover. ”

It is important to mention that if a person with stomach problems is infected with Helicobacter pylori, he or she is likely to infect others, especially family and friends who eat at the same table, through saliva or droplets.

Helicobacter pylori is one of the main culprits of chronic gastritis and can be transmitted by spreading the bacterium. The incidence of chronic gastritis in people with Helicobacter pylori infection is significantly higher than that in people without Helicobacter pylori infection, and the detection rate of Helicobacter pylori in gastric mucosa in patients with gastric disease is as high as 59% to 77%. The rate of Helicobacter pylori infection increases with age.

In China, the infection rate of Helicobacter pylori is relatively high, about 60%, and the age is early.

Humans are the natural host of Helicobacter pylori, which can be transmitted through the "fecal-oral" and "oral-oral" routes, such as saliva, contaminated food, etc., so many family members can suffer from stomach problems.

It can also be transmitted by endoscopes (e.g., gastroscopes) that are not thoroughly sterilized.

Hello, stomach diseases are not contagious, the infection is Helicobacter pylori, which is the main culprit causing gastric and duodenal diseases! For example, common chronic gastritis, gastric and duodenal ulcers, gastric and duodenal cancer, etc. are all caused by Helicobacter pylori! If the other person carries this germ, the kiss will be infected!

It is recommended that both parties go to the hospital to check for Helicobacter pylori to see if there is an infection, and if so, it is recommended to clear it with medication!

Acute gastroenteritis is contagious, but it is not very contagious, because the infection of acute gastroenteritis is mainly transmitted through diet, and people with acute gastroenteritis may be infected if they exclude stool without treatment, sticking to food and being eaten by others. But nowadays, people are more hygienic, and there are very few people who eat raw food or unwashed food, so it rarely causes infection and gastroenteritis, most of which is caused by unclean diet, such as eating leftovers.

Speaking of acute gastroenteritis, everyone must be familiar with it, as long as you eat contaminated food or come into contact with unclean items, it is easy to cause mild or severe vomiting and diarrhea, which is what we often call acute gastroenteritis.

So what are the specific symptoms of acute gastroenteritis?

1. The patient will obviously feel pain in the upper abdomen, or there will be obvious pain when squeezing around the navel, showing paroxysmal aggravation or continuous dull pain. Of course, there will be a small number of patients who experience severe pain.

2. Usually patients with acute gastroenteritis will have nausea and vomiting, and it is obviously much more comfortable after vomiting, and a small number of patients will even vomit to the point of vomiting yellow bile and gastric acid.

3. Another typical symptom of patients is diarrhea, and patients with various types of gastroenteritis will be accompanied by diarrhea symptoms. Generally, it starts to stop slowly after the symptoms of gastrointestinal inflammation improve, and patients with severe diarrhea symptoms will have watery bowel movements.

4. Some patients with severe diarrhea symptoms of acute gastroenteritis will have symptoms of dehydration after repeated vomiting and diarrhea. This is due to dehydration caused by insufficient water intake, and patients who are dehydrated, **poor elasticity, sunken eyes, and low thirst and urine are all common symptoms. More severe cases include a drop in blood pressure and chills in the extremities.

5. Severe symptoms of acute gastroenteritis also include hematemesis and hematochezia. Of course, this is only possible in a small percentage of patients. Bloodshot in the vomit, or brown color of the vomit as a whole, blackening of the stool, or occult blood in the stool, are caused by bleeding from the gastric mucosa.

Is acute gastroenteritis contagious?

Viruses and bacteria can be contagious and can be spread by eating contaminated food or water. However, in up to 50% of patients with diarrhea, no specific pathogen has been found.

How long does acute gastroenteritis last?

Gastroenteritis caused by a virus may last for one to two days. However, some bacterial infections may last from weeks to months.

What should I do if I have acute gastroenteritis?

The main thing in acute gastroenteritis is to prevent dehydration, which is the main cause of the viral gastrointestinal tract, so preventing dehydration is the most important link.

In particular, young children and the frail should be given infusions or oral rehydration salts in time to correct water and electrolyte imbalances and acid-base imbalances.

In addition, you should also pay attention to hydration, and do not blindly drink plain water. It is best to drink an electrolyte aqueous solution with appropriate salt and water, and the simplest, most convenient and fast way is to buy a bag of oral rehydration solution suitable for each physique, directly brew a cup and drink it several times, and drink it within 4 hours, which can be bought in general pharmacies.

Moreover, if you drink plain water desperately, it may lead to a lack of electrolytes in the body, which can cause cramps.

Most patients with acute gastroenteritis have a rapid onset, and most patients have frequent nausea and vomiting, severe abdominal pain, and severe diarrhea. Over time, the patient's body will be seriously damaged, and the recovery process after illness will also take a relatively long time. Therefore, it is recommended that patients with acute gastroenteritis go to the hospital quickly and do not delay.

Chronic gastritis is indeed a chronic disease, gastritis can be divided into acute gastritis and chronic gastritis, and acute gastritis is divided into simple and erosive gastritis, and chronic gastritis is divided into superficial gastritis, atrophic gastritis, hypertrophic gastritis, so it is not that all chronic gastritis is chronic, and antibacterial and anti-inflammatory methods should be used.

Although gastric disease is said to be a chronic disease, that is, after chronic gastritis, the gastric mucosal lesions do not heal or act backwards, will form chronic gastritis, and can generally be conditioned with traditional Chinese medicine, with 15 grams of astragalus membranaceus, codonopsis, 12 grams of atractylodes, poria cocos, yam, lentils, 10 grams of tangerine peel, ginger, incense, and licorice, one dose a day, decoction in water, but to be taken under the guidance of a doctor.

Gastritis is divided into chronic gastritis, atrophic gastritis, superficial gastritis, bile reflux gastritis.

Gastritis is not contagious.

The main ** of gastritis is Helicobacter pylori infection, if the gastritis patient carries Helicobacter pylori, sharing dishes and chopsticks with family members, etc., it may lead to Helicobacter pylori infection, which in turn leads to gastritis in other family members, but this is not the contagiousness of gastritis, but only the infection of Helicobacter pylori. Therefore, to prevent Helicobacter pylori infection, it is possible to practice gastritis patients to share meals with other family members.

Usually to love the stomach and nourish the stomach, you can eat light and easily digestible food, eat small and frequent meals, and appropriately supplement functional probiotics.

First of all, you have to make sure that it is indeed gastroenteritis, because cholera also has symptoms of gastroenteritis such as diarrhea, and cholera is an infectious disease. Common gastroenteritis is not contagious. However, food poisoning (collective) is a psychogenic contagion, which is not an infectious disease in the traditional sense, but a psychological factor.

In terms of **, on the basis of improving the quality of life, avoiding bad irritation, adjusting diet and strengthening physical exercise, some drugs can be combined with ** to obtain good results.

1. Oral antibiotics: Chronic gastritis, especially chronic atrophic gastritis, when gastric acid is low or lacking, gastric dysfunction or there is retained fluid in the stomach, bacteria are easy to grow and multiply, making gastritis lesions and symptoms aggravated. Therefore, antibiotics such as streptomycin, gentamicin, berberine and other antibiotics can be taken orally, and Dile powder can inhibit or kill Helicobacter pylori, so it can also be used.

2. Taking gastric mucosal protectors: such as sucralfate, gagaspine or aluminum hydroxide gel, etc., can protect the gastric mucosa and enhance its resistance, but aluminum preparations should not be taken for a long time.

3. Reduce bile reflux: metoclopramide or morphine can accelerate the emptying of the stomach and duodenum and reduce bile reflux, thereby avoiding the damage of bile to the gastric mucosa, but it should be noted that metoclopramide has drowsiness.

4. Traditional Chinese medicine**: For patients with chronic gastroenteritis, it is recommended to cooperate with traditional Chinese medicine** and take some traditional Chinese medicine preparations such as gastrointestinal soothing formula.

Is gastroenteritis contagious? The doctor gave a clear answer, so let's find out.

Some are contagious. Gastroenteritis is generally caused by bacterial or viral infections, and some are contagious, such as intestinal infections caused by dysentery bacilli.

Ordinary gastroenteritis is not contagious. Ordinary gastroenteritis is not contagious, but if you eat food containing pathogenic bacteria and their toxins at the same time, you may get sick together. However, if you eat food that contains pathogenic bacteria and their toxins at the same time, you may get sick together.

Enteritis is gastroenteritis, enteritis, and colitis caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites, among others. Clinical manifestations include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, watery stools, or mucopus and bloody stools.

Pediatric enteritis is a digestive tract disease caused by multiple pathogens and factors, characterized by increased stool frequency and changes in quality. The ** that causes enteritis in children is divided into infectious and non-infectious. The infectious ones mainly include viral infections, bacterial infections, fungi, and parasites, and the non-infectious ones mainly include dietary factors such as diet, as well as some climatic factors, including a cold abdomen, which affects the increase in intestinal peristalsis.

Therefore, not all pediatric enteritis is an infectious disease, and some are just intestinal peristalsis caused by improper diet or climate change, resulting in an increase in the frequency of stool and changes in stool quality, which is not an infectious disease. ”

The stomach and intestines are the main digestive and absorption organs of the human body, and gastrointestinal diseases will affect the nutrition and immunity of the whole body. Therefore, it is necessary to be timely to avoid the disease from acute to chronic, from functional to organic, from mild simple lesions to complex and serious lesions or even cancer.

The so-called chronic gastritis infection, in fact, this situation fundamentally refers to the presence or absence of Helicobacter pylori infection, Helicobacter pylori We know that it is a carcinogen and has been defined by the World Health Organization as a clear carcinogen.

Therefore, many people are concerned about the mutual infection of Helicobacter pylori, mainly through the infection between contacts, generally speaking, many times through everyone going to dinner together, through the bowl and chopsticks to contact each other.

Therefore, it is generally recommended that if there is a person with Helicobacter pylori infection, it is best to use chopsticks when going out to eat, so as to avoid this situation of Helicobacter pylori infection.

I asked the doctor and said that it was contagious, and it was best to separate the dishes and chopsticks
