Dysphagia refers to a condition in which a person has difficulty in swallowing. It may occur when there is difficulty in the swallowing process. It may occur at any age. Sometimes dysphagia may be confused with the sore throat. But if pain occurs for a longer period of time, one should visit a qualified physician for a definite diagnosis. It is necessary to diagnose the condition at an early stage to prevent further complications. Types of dysphagia
Dysphagia is of two types:
- Oropharyngeal dysphagia: This occurs when there is a problem in the mouth or throat. It occurs when there is a problem in the nerves and muscles. The muscles and nerves of throat may get affected and can produce difficulty in swallowing.
- Esophageal dysphagia: It occurs when there is a problem in esophagus. There is some blockage or irritation in the esophagus that causes difficulty in swallowing.
