overview
Functional dyspepsia (dis-PEP-see-uh) is a term used for recurring signs and symptoms of indigestion that have no obvious cause. Functional dyspepsia is also known as non-ulcer stomach pain or non-ulcer dyspepsia.
Functional dyspepsia is common and can last for a long time – although the signs and symptoms are usually intermittent. These signs and symptoms are similar to those of an ulcer, such as pain or discomfort in the upper abdomen, often accompanied by gas, belching, and nausea. Functional dyspepsia Treatment in Nizamabad
