What is Types and Treatment of Dysphagia about?
Dysphagia refers to difficulty swallowing food or liquids from the mouth to the stomach. There are two main types: esophageal dysphagia where food gets stuck in the throat or chest, and oropharyngeal dysphagia where throat muscles are weakened making swallowing difficult. Dysphagia can be caused by conditions like achalasia, tumors, or damage from radiation therapy. Treatment depends on the cause but may include exercises, dilation procedures, surgery like myotomy, or even a feeding tube for severe cases.
