In this regard, the expert explained, “Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy allows us to see the upper gastrointestinal tract, that is, the examination of the esophagus, stomach and duodenum. A large number of people in this country should undergo digestive endoscopy.” Completed , especially since we have a high prevalence of gastric cancer. In this case, the test detects an infection that occurs when H. pylori infects the stomach. H. pylori infection is a common cause of stomach ulcers (peptic ulcers), and more than half the world’s population may have H. pylori.
