ท้องอืด ท้องเฟ้อบ่อย อาหารไม่ย่อย...เขาเรียกว่าโรคดิสเปปเซียนะ

<p><strong style="font-size: 1rem">Bloating, fullness, and abdominal discomfort</strong><span style="color: var(--tw-prose-body);font-size: 1rem"> are annoying symptoms that we often think are caused by overeating, indigestion, or simple constipation. But did you know that these could be symptoms of a condition called Dyspepsia?</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2 class="paragraph"><span style="color: #00826a"><strong>Symptoms of Dyspepsia</strong></span></h2>
<p style="text-align: left">When suffering from dyspepsia, patients experience fullness, abdominal pain, or discomfort in the upper central abdomen or epigastric area. Some may feel early satiety, bloating, and fullness. It is found that up to 25% of the population experience symptoms of dyspepsia, and most have chronic, recurring symptoms that can reduce quality of life.</p>

<h2><span style="color: #00826a">Common causes of dyspepsia</span></h2>
<p>Besides dyspepsia being a result of other chronic diseases such as peptic ulcer disease, hepatitis, or thyroid disorders, there are two main causes that can worsen the symptoms.</p>

<li style="text-align: left"><strong>Food: </strong>Many patients report that certain foods worsen their symptoms, such as spicy, very spicy, sour foods, tomatoes, alcohol, fatty foods, and coffee.</li>

Stopping these medications can improve symptoms.</span></span></li>

<h2><span style="color: #00826a">Signs that it may be more than just dyspepsia<br />
</span></h2>
<div>In more than 50% of dyspepsia patients where the cause is identified by doctors, symptoms improve with medication and lifestyle changes. However, nearly 50% of patients have no identifiable cause and are classified as having Functional Dyspepsia. Doctors will treat these patients with medication initially, except for those at risk of serious diseases or who do not respond to treatment, such as difficulty swallowing, weight loss, gastrointestinal bleeding, blood in stool, black stools, or symptoms of intestinal obstruction like severe vomiting. In these cases, doctors will recommend an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, which is simple and safe.</div>
