Q. Etiological factor of dyspepsia?
The main etiological factor of dyspepsia is the failure of proper digestion and absorption of food in the alimentary tract and the consequences thereof. Often, dyspepsia is caused by a stomach ulcer or acid reflux disease. If an individual has acid reflux disease, stomach acid backs up into the oesophagus. This causes pain in the chest; some medicines like anti-inflammatory medicines can cause dyspepsia. Rarely, dyspepsia is caused by stomach cancer, so you should take this problem seriously. Sometimes no cause of dyspepsia can be found.
