Since the concept of medicalization was proposed, its academic research process has gone through three successive stages, from the identification of the expansion of medical knowledge and professional domination, to the reflection on the creation of iatrogenic diseases caused by medicalization as a social control mechanism, to the response to medical commercialization and interest competition, to a certain extent, the research context of Western medicalization has been built, but there are still obvious defects and deficiencies, especially the Western-centric research model and one-sided critical attitude.In addition, with the advancement of globalization, medicalization is not only a "local" product within the framework of Western medical and social systems, but inevitably interacts with other countries, and under the influence and adaptation of traditional Chinese medicine culture and "people-centered" institutional principles, medicalization as an imported product has been given a new understanding in theory and practice.
