The causes of dyspepsia contain gastro esophageal reflux, peptic ulcer or functional dyspepsia. The definition of functional dyspepsia is presence of chronic symptoms in the upper abdominal pain despite of occurrence of any kind of specific structural problem. In 50% cases there is no clear cause found. The prevalence of dyspepsia in health centers cannot reflect its prevalence in the community as a whole. Many of the patients suffering from dyspepsia never bother to visit a physician and they do not prioritize these symptoms as a major or do self-medication. However, the accurate prevalence could not be calculated and it requires general population study.
