Can H. pylori infection cause sudden weight loss?

Home | News | Doctor Q&A Follow Dripcare information on google news
Hello, doctor. Recently, I have experienced sudden weight loss of unknown origin, and after an examination, I was diagnosed with an H. pylori infection. Can H. pylori infection cause sudden weight loss? Thank you for your advice.

Hello,

Sudden weight loss is defined as a decrease in body weight of 5% from total body weight over 6 to 12 months without any accompanying illness or health issues. Sudden weight loss can lead to fatigue, headaches, nutritional deficiencies, and a weakened immune system. There are many reasons why your weight may decrease, but an H. pylori infection does not typically cause sudden weight loss. Therefore, you need to visit a healthcare facility for an examination and to have the cause identified as soon as possible.

Additionally, you should consider changing your diet, improving your sleep, and regularly exercising to maintain your figure and boost your immune system.
