Understanding Esophageal Dilation
Esophageal dilation is a non-surgical treatment that involves stretching or widening the esophagus to relieve dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) caused by narrowing. Conditions like benign esophageal narrowing, Barrett’s esophagus, esophageal motility disorders, and repeated strictures from GERD or cancer treatments can lead to narrowing of the esophagus.
Symptoms Treated by Esophageal Dilation
- Difficulty swallowing solid or liquid foods
- Sensation of food getting stuck in the chest
- Chronic heartburn or regurgitation
- Pain or discomfort during swallowing
- Unexplained weight loss due to eating difficulties
Common Conditions Requiring Esophageal Dilation
- Esophageal stricture (narrowing due to scar tissue)
- Achalasia
- GERD-related complications
- Esophageal cancer treatment aftereffects
- Barrett’s esophagus
What Causes Esophageal Strictures?
- Chronic acid reflux (GERD)
- Injury from ingesting harmful substances
- Radiation or surgery affecting the esophagus
