Severe gastritis with hpylori positive.
I have done endoscope. The result shows I have severe gastritis with h.pylori positive. Doctor gave hp kit and some anxiety tablets. Doctor says my gastritis is due to anxiety. Hp Kit course also completed. Now my stomach is normal and not causing any issue. I have fear of whether H pylori is fully eradicated or not. Whether H pylori needs to be eradicated fully or can be left as it is for the whole life time if we don't have any symptoms? Whether Hpylori is common?Also I read in internet that it may cause gastric cancer. Is this true? What I need to do?Please advice. thankyou.

H. pylori related symptomatic gastritis needs 2 weeks treatment with H. pylori eradication regimen. You can confirm H pylori eradication by doing a non invasive urea breath test ( UBT) after 4 to 6 weeks of completing therapy
