  1. A General Outline On The Treatment, Symptoms And Complications Of Achalasia

  2. What is Achalasia? • Achalasia is a rare disorder associated with the esophagus. In this condition, the esophagus is not able to move food and liquids down the stomach. The esophagus is a muscular tube that is responsible for transporting food from the mouth to the stomach. There is a ring of muscle called the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) is present in the area where the esophagus meets the stomach. • This muscle is required to relax to allow food to enter the stomach. When people have achalasia, their LES does not ease up. People suffering from achalasia may face problems in eating solid foods and drinking liquid.

  3. Treating Achalasia The assistance of a Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy or POEM by an Achalasia doctor in Delhi, Noida, or some other nearby city, should be sought out by people diagnosed with this condition. POEM is an endoscopic procedure used to treat swallowing disorders. It is an in-patient procedure and can take between one to three hours to complete. The NCR has many renowned medical centres where doctors specialize in POEM. The symptoms of achalasia can significantly worsen if left untreated. Hence, it is best to seek professional assistance to manage the condition at once. Details about the symptoms and complications of achalasia have been marked in the following slides.

  5. Complications of Achalasia Complications of achalasia persist due to the food backing up into the esophagus and then getting drawn into the trachea, which ultimately leads to the lungs.
