چکیده

Dyspepsia is a common clinical condition associated with a complex of upper abdominal symptoms including: upper centered discomfort or pain, feeling of abdominal fullness, early satiety, abdominal distention and bloating, belching, and nausea. The exact prevalence of dyspepsia in the general population is not known, but it is estimated that as many as 25% to 40% of adults experience symptoms of dyspepsia in a given year. Patients with chronic or recurrent upper gastrointestinal (dyspeptic) symptoms usually undergo an array of investigative tests in an attempt to identify structural or biochemical abnormalities that can explain their symptoms. However, it is not unusual for a complete investigation to fail to reveal significant organic findings and the patient is then considered to have "Functional Dyspepsia" (FD).
