Dear Doctor,
for my Father, he has difficulty swallowing due to block in end of esophagus connecting to stomach.. ie..long segment 14cm in length eccentric bowl valve
thickening noted in lower 3rd segment of esophagus
with extension into the gastro esophageal junction,
lesser curvature and greater curvature of the stomach
causing irregular luminal narrowing.
pls suggest a cure for this.

Hello,
Usually, blocked lower end of esophagus may be caused by:
1. Esophageal cancer
2. Achalasia
3. Esophageal spasm
4. Zenkers Diverticulum
5. Systemic Sclerosis
Until the diagnosis is confirmed, the cause for obstruction treatment is difficult. Please consult your gastroenterologist, he/she will examine and treat him accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
