Patients with functional dyspepsia who remain untreated for a long period of time are relatively serious and have a high risk of complications such as malnutrition and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which require prompt intervention.
Functional dyspepsia, as a functional gastrointestinal disorder without organic lesions, generally has a favorable prognosis.
However, if it remains untreated for a long period of time, it may further lead to malnutrition, sleep disorders, anxiety, depression and other abnormalities, and even the emergence of gastroesophageal reflux disease, peptic ulcer and other organic diseases, which will have a long term negative impact on the physical and mental health of the patient, and is therefore more serious.
Therefore, if functional dyspepsia has not been cured for a long time, general treatment and drug treatment should be carried out in a timely manner in order to strive for a good prognosis. Among them, the general treatment includes establishing good living and dietary habits, etc., while drug treatment is commonly used to inhibit gastric acid drugs (such as pantoprazole), gastrointestinal stimulants (such as etopride) and so on.
However, it should be noted that the treatment of functional dyspepsia must be carried out strictly under the guidance of a doctor, and must not be blindly disposed of on its own, so as to avoid adverse consequences.
