How to Prepare

📝

Fast for at least 4–6 hours before the test. Do not take proton pump inhibitors (omeprazole, lansoprazole) for 2 weeks before the test. Do not take antibiotics for 4 weeks before the test. These medications can suppress H. pylori and cause a false negative result. Inform the doctor of all current medications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the symptoms of H. pylori infection?▼
H. pylori infection causes chronic upper abdominal pain or burning, bloating, nausea, frequent burping, and loss of appetite. Many people have H. pylori without symptoms. It is the primary cause of peptic ulcers and a significant risk factor for stomach cancer if left untreated.
Is the H. pylori breath test accurate and painless?▼
Yes, the urea breath test has sensitivity and specificity above 95% — one of the most accurate non-invasive tests available. It involves simply swallowing a tablet and breathing into a collection bag 30 minutes later. No needles, no endoscopy, no discomfort.
What is the treatment if H. pylori is positive?▼
H. pylori is treated with a 7–14 day course of combination antibiotic and proton pump inhibitor therapy (triple or quadruple therapy). Our doctors prescribe the appropriate regimen and arrange a follow-up breath test 4–6 weeks after completing treatment to confirm eradication.
