Overview:
The Helicobacter Pylori Test is a non-invasive stool test that detects H. pylori antigens, a bacterium linked to stomach ulcers, gastritis, and an increased risk of stomach cancer. This test will tell you if you currently have an H. pylori infection, unlike a blood test, which can only indicate if you’ve had the infection in the past but cannot confirm if you have it now.
The Helicobacter Pylori Test is a simple stool test that identifies the presence of the bacteria in your digestive system, helping to diagnose infections that may cause symptoms like abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, and indigestion. If you're experiencing gastrointestinal discomfort or have a history of ulcers, this test provides accurate results and helps guide treatment to clear the infection. Get reliable answers and take control of your digestive health with our H. pylori antigen test today!
