Nigerian social media influencer and healthcare adviser, Aproko Doctor, recently made a surprising revelation on Instagram about the transmission of stomach ulcers through kissing.
In his video, he explained that the bacterium Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), which is responsible for most stomach ulcers, can indeed be spread via saliva, making it possible to contract the infection through kissing.
Aproko Doctor, whose real name is Dr. Chinonso Egemba, emphasized the importance of being aware of this mode of transmission to better prevent the spread of H. pylori. He advised his followers to maintain good oral hygiene and to be cautious about intimate contacts, especially if they are aware of any existing infections.
H. pylori is a common bacterium that infects the stomach lining and is a significant cause of ulcers. It’s typically contracted through contaminated food or water, but the possibility of transmission through saliva means that close personal contact can also be a risk factor [❞] [❞] [❞].
For those concerned about the risk of H. pylori, Aproko Doctor recommends regular medical check-ups and maintaining a healthy lifestyle to reduce the chances of developing ulcers and other related gastrointestinal issues.
His efforts to educate the public on health matters have been widely appreciated, as he continues to leverage his platform to share valuable health information.
