Symptoms of functional dyspepsia:
In the ulcerative variant, permanent or periodic pain of varying intensity in the epigastrium or a feeling of discomfort, often occurring on an empty stomach, at night, diminishing after eating or antisecretory means are observed.
In the dyskinetic version of functional dyspepsia, the patient is disturbed by dyspeptic disorders in the form of heaviness, swelling, feelings of stomach overflow, gravity in the epigastric region after eating, nausea, vomiting, a feeling of rapid satiety.
With a nonspecific variant, mixed symptomatology is observed, and it is difficult to distinguish the leading symptom.
Functional dyspepsia is characterized by a prolonged (long-term) course without pronounced progression.
