Overview
Dyspepsia usually persists throughout life and the chance of spontaneous healing is rare. Dyspepsia is most commonly associated with Helicobacter pylori infection. Increase in the prevalence of dyspepsia is attributed to the increasing age and the onset varies among different ethnicities. The increased risk of developing duodenal and peptic ulcers have been observed in individuals with persistent dyspepsia.Dyspepsia is associated with complications such as peptic ulcers, anemia due to gastritis, stomach cancer, vitamin B12 deficiency, pernicious anemia. Functional dyspepsia is a long-lasting disorder with an excellent prognosis regardless of H. pylori infection.
Natural History
- Dyspepsia usually persists throughout life and the chance of spontaneous healing is rare.
- Dyspepsia is most commonly associated with Helicobacter pylori infection.
- Increase in the prevalence of dyspepsia is attributed to the increasing age and the onset varies among different ethnicities.
- The increased risk of developing duodenal and peptic ulcers have been observed in individuals with persistent dyspepsia.[1][2][3]
Complications
- Peptic ulcers
- Anemia due to gastritis
- Stomach cancer
- Vitamin B12 deficiency
- Pernicious anemia
- Increased risk of developing benign or malignant growths in the lining of the stomach.
Prognosis
Functional dyspepsia is a long-lasting disorder with an excellent prognosis regardless of H. pylori infection.
