Soon, get stomach ulcer diagnosed without that painful endoscopy session.
Researchers have developed a safer and non-invasive diagnostic technique for detecting ulcers in the stomach.
How?
By sending some molecules to the gut to make the ulcer-causing bacteria light up in fluorescent green, said scientists from University of Southern Denmark.
“Early diagnosis does not only prevent ulcers from developing, it can also prevent the development of cancer," said lead author Silvia Fontenete at University of Southern Denmark.
Ulcers are often caused by the bacteria Helicobacter pylori in the stomach or duodenum.
