Greetings Everyone!

Hope you all will be fine and doing well, first i want to tell you that today I cooked my best vegetable which is bell pepper or capsicum with chicken. Seriously, this is my best vegetable combination. I click some beautiful pictures during cooking that look awesome.

Randomly a very informative topic comes to mind which is about our esophagus. The topic name is Achalasia in which we are talking about esophagus disorder.

Achalasia is a rare disorder that makes it difficult for your mouth and stomach (esophagus) to pass food and liquid from a swallowing tube attached to your stomach. Achalasia occurs when nerves in the esophagus deteriorate. As a result, the esophagus paralyzes and expands over time and eventually loses the ability to squeeze food into the stomach.

At the place where your esophagus meets your stomach there is a muscle ring called lower esophageal sphincter (les). This muscle relaxes (opens) so that food can enter your stomach and shrinks the stomach material to prevent it from being backed up in your esophagus (becomes hard to shut). If you have achalasia, les does not rest, which prevents food from going into your stomach.

Symptoms

The symptoms of achalasia usually appear gradually. Most people with this disorder experience a disorder in their ability to swallow as a major and initial symptom. There may be mild pain in the chest that comes and goes. Some sufferers have pain which is very severe.

Saliva and eaten food in the esophagus can often cause regurgitation of these materials. In addition, such materials can also be transported to the lungs during breathing (tracheobronchial inhalation). Other symptoms of this disorder include a significant loss of cough and weight at night, difficulty swallowing, cases that may not be treated

Treatment

Endoscopy is also helpful in the diagnosis of achalasia although it may be normal in early achalasia. Endoscopy is a procedure in which a flexible fiberoptic tube is swallowed with light and camera at its end. The camera provides a direct concept of the inside of the esophagus. Many other treatments also available in the hospital.
