Achalasia is a disorder where the esophagus fails to relax properly, making swallowing difficult. A doctor specializing in its treatment, like Dr. Surakshith T. K, a Gastroenterologist, Hepatologist, and Therapeutic Endoscopist, can offer various approaches such as medication, balloon dilation, or POEM (Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy). Treatment time varies; medication and balloon dilation can be done in an outpatient setting, while POEM usually takes a few hours with a short recovery period. Causes of achalasia include a breakdown in the nerve cells controlling the esophagus. Benefits of treatment include improved swallowing function, reduced discomfort, and enhanced quality of life. Early and effective treatment can significantly relieve symptoms and prevent complications.
