Dyspepsia, Indigestion

Dyspepsia is a common digestive disorder that causes symptoms such as pain or discomfort in the upper abdomen, feeling full after eating, nausea, belching, and bloating.

Dyspepsia can be caused by a variety of reasons, including poor diet, stress, stomach infections, peptic ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease and other gastrointestinal diseases. However, in many cases the cause of dyspepsia remains unclear and is referred to as functional or idiopathic dyspepsia.

Diagnosis of dyspepsia includes a medical history, physical examination and, in some cases, additional studies such as a blood test, ultrasound of the abdominal organs, and endoscopy.

Treatment is aimed at relieving symptoms and eliminating causes, if they are identified. It is recommended to follow a diet, exclude irritating foods, and take medications that improve digestion. If necessary, antiulcer or choleretic agents and probiotics are prescribed. It is important to avoid smoking and alcohol abuse.

With timely treatment, the prognosis for dyspepsia is favorable. However, a prolonged course can lead to a decrease in quality of life and the development of complications. Therefore, in case of prolonged or recurrent symptoms, consultation with a gastroenterologist is necessary.

Dyspepsia in the context of the digestive system is a pathological condition that is heterogeneous in its clinical manifestations and occurs when exposed to factors that cause disruption of the basic functions of the gastrointestinal tract. Such conditions are characterized by a complex of symptoms, which include a feeling of rapid satiety, heaviness in the epigastric region, heartburn, belching, unpleasant taste in the mouth, nausea, flatulence, bloating, constipation or diarrhea.
