<jats:p> Functional dyspepsia is relatively common yet poorly understood. The best accepted diagnostic criteria are the Rome III criteria. The epidemiology, healthcare seeking rates, impact and pathophysiology are reviewed with a focus on women. Treatment is limited with no clearly established regimen currently recommended. Duodenal eosinophilia may be found in a subset. Proton pump inhibitors and prokinetic agents represent the standard therapeutic regimen after Helicobacter pylori infection has been eliminated. Some novel agents such as the prokinetic acotiamide appear promising; however, the need for a safe and efficacious treatment remains largely unmet. This review also describes the currently available management options for functional dyspepsia. </jats:p>
