Abstract
In recent years, the infection rate of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) in China has declined. Due to the relatively large population, the number of H. pylori infection patients in China is still large. For many diseases combined with H. pylori infection, eradication therapy is essential, but the effect of H. pylori on gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is controversial. Therefore, whether to conduct eradication therapy in patients with H. pylori infection remains to be discussed. The pathogenesis of the GERD is related to various factors. This article aims to provide some clues for treating GERD by reviewing the relationship between GERD and H. pylori infection.
