What happens if H. pylori is left untreated?

If H. pylori infection is left untreated, it can cause chronic gastritis and peptic ulcers, which may lead to stomach pain, bleeding, perforation, or obstruction. Long-term infection raises the risk of iron-deficiency anemia, vitamin B12 deficiency and increases the likelihood of gastric cancer and MALT lymphoma. Untreated infection often causes persistent dyspepsia; appropriate testing and eradication therapy are recommended.

Can stress cause H. pylori?

Helicobacter pylori infection is caused by exposure to the bacterium—typically via oral–oral or fecal–oral routes, contaminated food or water, or close contact—not by psychological stress. However, chronic stress can worsen stomach symptoms, increase acid production, impair immune response, and slow healing or symptom relief during treatment. Good hygiene, safe food practices, testing, and medical care are important if infection is suspected.

How to treat H. pylori while pregnant?

Treatment of H. pylori is usually deferred until after pregnancy unless there is active peptic ulcer disease or severe symptoms.
