Hello, I had a gastroscopy, it showed me Helicobacter Pylori bacteria, the doctor prescribed medication for two weeks, then I did a stool test, it showed that I no longer have the bacteria, the stomach pain still persists. During the gastroscopy, when the doctor took a sample, did he take it to see if I have Helikcobacter Pylori bacteria, or would this sample show other diseases, e.g. stomach ulcers, etc.?

During gastroscopy, the condition of the esophagus, stomach and descending part of the duodenum can be assessed. The test also makes it possible to take tissue samples for histopathological examinations (enabling, for example, the detection of inflammatory or cancerous changes), to check for the presence of Helicobacter Pylori bacteria and to perform minor procedures such as stopping bleeding or removing polyps.

It may be worth prolonging the treatment with a proton pump inhibitor drug, e.g. Pantoprazole, Controloc, PPI.
