Indigestion & Dyspepsia Treatment in South Delhi
Dyspepsia — the medical word for indigestion — means discomfort or pain centred in the upper abdomen, often with early fullness and bloating after meals. Most cases are 'functional', meaning the stomach works abnormally without visible damage, and they respond to treatments very different from acidity medicines.
Symptoms
- Feeling full after a few bites
- Uncomfortable fullness lasting hours after a meal
- Upper-abdominal pain or burning
- Bloating, belching, nausea
- Symptoms for more than 3 months
See a doctor urgently if
- Severe or worsening abdominal pain
- Vomiting blood, black stool or fresh bleeding with dizziness
- Jaundice with fever
- Unexplained weight loss, difficulty swallowing, persistent vomiting

How it works
How it is treated
- Rule out ulcer, H. pylori and gallstones first
- Prokinetics and stomach-relaxing medicines for functional dyspepsia — not just acid blockers
- Low-dose neuromodulators for hypersensitivity when needed
- Meal size and composition changes; management of anxiety that worsens symptoms
- Gastric emptying assessment for suspected gastroparesis

Questions patients ask about indigestion (dyspepsia)
Is dyspepsia the same as acidity?
No. Acidity is one cause; many people with dyspepsia have normal acid and an over-sensitive stomach that needs different treatment.
Do I need an endoscopy?
If you are over 45, have alarm symptoms, or symptoms persist after initial treatment — yes. Otherwise an H. pylori test and treatment trial may be enough.
