Abstract
This work aims to discuss the understanding of Helicobacter pylori (HP) in Chinese medicine and the timeframe when the theory of ‘treating the future disease’ in Chinese medicine fits in with the prevention and treatment of HP infection. HP is a pathogen with a high infection rate worldwide, and its infection route is mainly oral-oral transmission, which is the most important controllable risk factor for gastric cancer, and is recognised by the World Health Organisation as a class I carcinogen. Prevention and eradication of HP infection is a global public health concern. The Study also discussed the prevention and treatment methods and strategies of HP infection from the family and medical levels, so as to provide reference data for the development of public health policies and clinical practice. This study will provide valuable data for informing public health policy and guiding clinical practice.
