Aspirin 2 times more likely to cause bleeding of the gastrointestinal tract in the presence of the bacteria Helicobacter pylori

The bacteria that are found in the stomachs of 75% of the people are able to increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding when taking aspirin. New adherence was conducted by Australian scientists and the results published in specialized medical publications.

According to statistics, aspirin is a drug, which is very common in the prevention of various diseases. In today’s world it is often used in small doses to reduce the risk of stroke and heart attack, but I don’t know that he has a serious side effect is gastrointestinal bleeding.

Was conducted clinical study, whose results showed that in many cases, people use aspirin, although he did not need them. Healthy older people take aspirin, but often the positive effect is not received.

However, in a recent study it was found that aspirin may cause harm, leading to bleeding of the gastrointestinal tract. The upper part of the gastrointestinal tract in most people remains very common bacterium Helicobacter pylori. It was opened in the early eighties, the same researchers found that it affects the development of stomach ulcers, but not always. It was found that people with the body the bacteria and every day receiving small doses of aspirin, get an increased risk of bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract. It Helicobacter pylori increases this side effect of the medications in two and a half times, and this in comparison with those people that she is not infected. At the same time, scientists at the moment are unable to establish how they interact. It is planned that research will continue in this area.
