What is Achalasia Cardia? Dr Shubham Vatsya

Achalasia Cardia is a rare disorder where the esophagus loses its ability to move food toward the stomach, and the lower esophageal sphincter fails to relax properly. This leads to difficulty swallowing, chest pain, and regurgitation of undigested food. The exact cause is unknown, but it involves nerve damage in the esophagus. Diagnosis often involves an esophagram, endoscopy, and manometry. Treatment options include pneumatic dilation, surgical myotomy, or Botox injections to relieve symptoms and improve swallowing.
