Most people consider swallowing for granted, they eat and then chew and Eptlonh without thinking about it. However, for some, represents the difficulty of swallowing a daily problem. If
you feel when you swallow that food is stuck in the throat or chest, it
indicates that you are suffering from dysphagia Difficulty swallowing.And there is a difficulty in swallowing in two places:First: the pharynx, and called pharyngeal dysphagia Oropharyngeal dysphagiaIt is a difficult to move food from the mouth and throat to the top of the esophagus.The problem usually arises because of unrest related to the nerves and muscles that lead to the weakness of the throat muscles- Sudden fading of the nerves as a result of stroke or brain injury or spinal cord.-
Neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis,
muscular dystrophy, paralysis, pharynx Pharyngeal paralysis- Diverticulitis diverticulaIt is a small sac formed in the back of the throat (pharynx), just above the esophagus. The intervention of food particles in the pocket to bounce later, causing rumbling voice and a horrible breath. In some cases, counter-moving particles into the lungs and cause difficulty in breathing.- CancerSome types of cancers, treatments may cause difficulty in swallowing.The symptoms include:- Difficulty in swallowing and choking, theft or cough during swallowing.- Bounce liquids (and sometimes food) through the nose.- Weak voice.- Low weight.Second: the esophagus, called the esophageal dysphagia Esophageal dysphagiaWhich is the most common position, and the patient feels that the food stuck Oaalq in the chest (in the esophagus).And this is often accompanied by a sense of pressure or pain in the chest, and Other possible symptoms include:- Pain during swallowing.- Burp.- Persistent cough.- Sore throat.- Sound of rumbling or gurgling.- Foul smell the same.There are many reasons for esophageal dysphagia, including:Narrowing of the esophagus Esophageal stricture result of stomach acid refluxThe most common causes, and stenosis occurs because the scar tissue. This
fabric is produced from reflux of stomach acid into the esophagus,
leading to inflammation of the tissues (gastroesophageal reflux disease
GERD).Diffuse esophageal spasm diffuse esophageal spasmCramping
leads to frequent spasms of the esophagus and is consistent and
high-pressure, Faather involuntary muscle wall of the lower esophagus.
Tumors and radiation therapyTumors of the esophagus would Esophageal tumors (cancerous and non-cancerous) or radiation burns (inflammation and scarring) resulting from cancer treatment that also cause dysphagia.Hatsky loop Schatzki's ring or lower esophageal ring esophageal ringA narrow annular Appearance is located down-Marri, a fibrous connective tissue covered with a mucous layer.Occur as a result of chronic irritation of the esophagus in patients with resistance to racing and burning, and this episode is formed in order to protect the esophagus.Weakness of the muscles of the esophagus and could not relax AchalasiaMay weaken the muscles that line the esophagus and throw food to the stomach with age, causing difficulty in swallowing food.Also weaken the muscles of the esophagus sometimes as a result of diseases that affect the ability of the esophagus to move (the lower esophageal sphincter weakness) Kalqsour or scleroderma Scleroderma, allowing acid to rise into the esophagus that causes constant heartburn.Inflammation of the esophagus due to excessive cell Aloizinofelih (Eosinophilic esophagitis)This case linked to food allergy, and occur because of excessive cells called eosinophils in the esophagus.In fact, the accidental difficulty swallowing is not usually serious, but simply result from not chewing food enough or eating too fast. As is frequently suffered from problems in swallowing or I was with severe symptoms, see your doctor.Causes of dysphagia in infants and children:- Ingestion of a foreign body: metal coins, parts of the mini games.- Nervous system disorders, such as meningitis or cerebral palsy- Cleft lip or cleft palateTreatment of dysphagiaTreatment of this case depends on the underlying cause behind it.PhysiotherapyIf dysphagia caused by muscle weakness, it is physical therapy would help by certain techniques (coordinate swallowing muscles and re-stimulate the nerves) to facilitate the ingestion of food.Drug therapyFor dysphagia resulting from gastroesophageal reflux, often prescribed medications succeed in preventing reflux of stomach acid into the esophagus. The need to take these drugs for a long period of time.The dysphagia associated with esophageal muscles cramp, the muscle relaxant drugs may help to stop the spasms.Extension and expansion of the esophagus Esophageal dilationThe narrowing of the esophagus is locked up food and prevent him from passing easily, he baptizes doctor to enter a fine tube Lin (endoscope) in it, and passes in the pipe organ to extend tissue المتضيقة. Often the device is a balloon-free air put in place then puffed stenosis to widen the corridor.SurgeryIn the case of a tumor or diverticulitis, the doctor is forced to make surgery more often.Treatment of severe dysphagia Severe dysphagiaIf dysphagia prevents you from eating, drinking, your doctor may recommend:- Diet modification: it is necessary in some cases an adjustment in the components of the food until it is diagnosed and treated, forcing the patient, depending on the type of case and how dangerous it is to determine the diet foods or soft ground or liquid.- A feeding tube to bypass the swallowing mechanism.Change eating habitsMark smaller parts of the food, and chew well and at a slower pace.Avoid sticky foods that may cause difficulty in swallowing, such as peanut butter or caramel.Also avoid smoking and caffeine as they make heartburn worse.Some people suffer from drinking juices and coffee.
