Rate of gastric disease in Vietnamese children growing
The rate of children suffering from gastric disease is growing due to schooling pressure and inappropriate food, health experts have said. Doctor Nguyễn Thị Út from the Digestive Disease Department at the National Paediatrics Hospital, said HP bacteria is one of the main causes of gastric disease in children. Hà, an eight-year-old child from Hà Nội’s Sóc Sơn District, kept complaining of stomach aches and was gaining weight. When the pains became more serious and were accompanied by vomitting, her parents took her to the hospital. She was diagnosed with inflammation of the stomach’s mucous membrane caused by the Helicobacter pylori bacteria.
