Functional Dyspepsia (Indigestion) Treatment in Johor Bahru

Dispepsia Fungsian (Senak)

Functional dyspepsia (FD) is persistent or recurrent upper abdominal discomfort, bloating, early satiety, or nausea without any structural cause found on investigation. It is one of the most common gastrointestinal conditions globally and highly prevalent in Malaysia, where spicy, oily food and irregular eating habits are common. The Rome IV criteria define FD as symptoms present for at least 3 months, starting at least 6 months prior. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is an important and treatable cause of dyspepsia in Malaysia.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is H. pylori and is it related to indigestion?▼

Helicobacter pylori is a bacterium that infects the stomach lining and is a major cause of peptic ulcers and dyspepsia. It is common in Malaysia. H. pylori can be detected with a simple breath test or stool test at Klinik Muhibbah, and eradication with a 14-day antibiotic course significantly improves dyspepsia symptoms.

Is functional dyspepsia dangerous?▼

Functional dyspepsia itself is not dangerous but significantly affects quality of life. It is important to rule out structural causes (ulcers, cancer) before diagnosing functional dyspepsia. Once structural causes are excluded, reassurance and targeted treatment improves symptoms in most patients.
