What is the medical term meaning difficult digestion?

The medical term for difficult or impaired digestion is "dyspepsia." Dyspepsia refers to a group of symptoms related to discomfort or pain in the upper abdomen. It typically includes symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, belching, early satiety (feeling full too soon after starting a meal), nausea, and sometimes heartburn. Dyspepsia can be caused by various factors, including infections, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), ulcers, certain medications, or functional disorders of the digestive system. Treatment for dyspepsia typically involves lifestyle modifications, such as dietary changes, stress reduction, and avoiding certain medications that may contribute to the symptoms. In some cases, medications or further medical interventions may be recommended depending on the underlying cause of the dyspepsia.
