Physical examination:

Signs are minimal, possibly with tenderness in the upper abdomen.

Auxiliary examinations:

Liver and kidney function tests, gastroscopy, B-ultrasound, and X-ray examinations should be performed to rule out other organic sexually transmitted diseases. Gastrointestinal motility tests, gastric secretion function tests, and Helicobacter pylori tests should be conducted to assist in classification and the selection of therapeutic drugs.

Clinical classification:

It can be divided into reflux-like, dysmotility-like, ulcer-like, idiopathic dyspepsia, and aerophagia.

Patients diagnosed with this condition should undergo follow-up observation to prevent misdiagnosis.
