Non-ulcer dyspepsia (NUD) is a condition characterized by recurring upper abdominal discomfort, bloating, and nausea without an identifiable cause such as an ulcer or other gastrointestinal disease. The exact cause of NUD is unclear, but it is often associated with factors like stress, poor diet, or an imbalance in stomach acid production. The symptoms of NUD are similar to those of peptic ulcers, but diagnostic tests, such as endoscopy, usually do not reveal any ulcers or other abnormal findings. Treatment typically focuses on relieving symptoms and managing triggers.

Procedures & Interventions

Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs)

Medications like omeprazole can reduce stomach acid and provide relief from discomfort.

H2 Blockers

Ranitidine and famotidine can be used to decrease acid production and help alleviate symptoms.

Antacids

Over-the-counter antacids like calcium carbonate can provide quick relief from acidity.

Dietary and Lifestyle Changes

Avoiding trigger foods (spicy, acidic, and fatty foods), reducing alcohol and caffeine intake, and managing stress can help reduce symptoms.

Psychological Therapy

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or relaxation techniques may be useful for managing stress-related dyspepsia.
