Subtitle: A Simple and Convenient Method to Detect H. pylori Infection and Reduce the Risk of Stomach Ulcers and Stomach Cancer
[date]
Lanna Hospital is now offering a groundbreaking method called “Urea Breath Test” (UBT) to detect the presence of H. pylori (Helicobacter pylori) infection, one of the leading causes of stomach cancer. This innovative and painless procedure aims to help individuals identify the infection early and prevent the progression to more severe conditions.
H. pylori is a type of bacterium commonly found in contaminated food and everyday items. When this infection enters the gastrointestinal tract, it can result in symptoms such as burning pain, abdominal pain, and abnormal excretion. If left untreated, it can lead to peptic ulcer disease and, in some cases, even stomach cancer.
The Urea Breath Test is a quick and accurate method that allows healthcare professionals to check for the presence of H. pylori in both children and adults, including pregnant women. Unlike traditional methods that require invasive procedures or lengthy examinations, the UBT only requires patients to breathe into specially designed bags, making it comfortable and residue-free.
To undergo the Urea Breath Test, patients should follow these simple steps:
1. Blow into the first bag to collect a breath sample before taking a full bag of UBIT tablets.
2. Mix the tablets with 80 – 100 ml of water.
3. Sit still for 30 minutes.
4. After 30 minutes, exhale fully into the second bag provided.
5. Collect both sample bags and submit them to the healthcare staff for further analysis.
6. Make an appointment with a physician to discuss the results of the test.
The Urea Breath Test is highly accurate and eliminates the need for patients to abstain from food or water before the examination, which adds to its convenience. By detecting H. pylori infection early on, individuals can receive the necessary treatment before it spreads, thus reducing the likelihood of recurring stomach ulcers and the development of stomach cancer.
