Features: Dyspepsia refers to a group of symptoms characterized by upper abdominal pain or lower abdominal discomfort. The discomfort of dyspepsia is manifested as symptoms in the upper abdomen, such as early satiety, postprandial fullness, bloating, and nausea or even vomiting. Approximately half of the patients visit the hospital due to dyspepsia symptoms, and further examinations, including endoscopy, fail to identify the cause of dyspepsia, which is then classified as functional dyspepsia. This book primarily introduces the definition, clinical manifestations, classification, diagnosis, and management of dyspepsia. It provides a detailed explanation of the pathophysiology of functional dyspepsia and the role of psychological factors. The content is easy to understand and highly practical. It is not only suitable for gastroenterologists and general practitioners but also serves as a reference for relevant professionals.
