The risk of stomach ulcers and cancer is directly related to a person’s blood type. In addition, the disease can be hereditary. Doctor and TV presenter Alexander Myasnikov explained which blood groups are at risk. It was reported “Federal Press” .
“People of the first blood group more often get sick with stomach ulcers. At the same time, stomach cancer occurs more often in owners of the second blood group, ”Myasnikov emphasized.
Stomach ulcers are mainly caused by the bacterium Helicobacter pylori. The disease is also triggered by factors such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, herpes, and Epstein-Barr viruses. In addition, the diagnosis can be transmitted genetically.
Earlier it became known that scientists from ITMO University in St. Petersburg created a device for the accurate detection of infections that cause stomach ulcers and cancers.
