Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I had a gastro exam done recently. The doctor said my esophegas was not working properly and indicated that I would possibly need to see another doctor for further treatment. I have difficult swallowing...I had the barium swallow test that indicated a stricture. My doctor streached the stricture but said he was concerned about the entire esophagas. Your opinion?
According to your complain you have problem of difficulty in swallowing that may be because of oesophagus stricturation.
Endoscopy is helpful for further diagnosis. Tonsil problem may cause difficulty in swallowing. Gastroesophageal reflux disease may cause damage to oesophagus that can cause swallowing problem.
Consent a gastroenterologist for further diagnosis. Proper history and investigation helpful for diagnosis.
I hope my guidance is helpful to you. Take care. Thanks.
