Understanding Achalasia: Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Treatment. Description: If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with achalasia, this video is for you. Achalasia is a rare but serious condition that affects the esophagus and can make swallowing difficult or painful. In this video, we'll explain what achalasia is, its symptoms, how it's diagnosed, and the available treatment options. First, we'll cover the symptoms of achalasia, which include difficulty swallowing, regurgitation of food or liquids, chest pain, and weight loss. We'll also discuss the causes of achalasia and who is most at risk for developing the condition. Next, we'll go over the diagnostic tests that are commonly used to confirm a diagnosis of achalasia, including esophageal manometry, barium swallow, and endoscopy. We'll also explain how these tests are performed and what you can expect during the process. Finally, we'll discuss the available treatment options for achalasia, including medications, balloon dilation, and surgery. We'll explain the pros and cons of each treatment option, as well as the potential risks and benefits. If you're looking for reliable and up-to-date information about achalasia, this video is a great place to start. Don't let achalasia control your life – with the right treatment, you can manage your symptoms and live a full and healthy life. Definition:- Achalasia is "Esophageal motility disorder'' with 3 major abnormalities. 1- Increased resting tone of lower esophageal sphincter. 2- Aperistalsis (loss of peristalsis) in body of esophagus of distal 2/3rd. 3-Failure of lower esophageal sphincter to relax with swallowing. Pathogenesis 1-It results from degeneration of inhibitory neurons in myenteric plexus. 2-Inhibitory neurons contain nitric oxides & vasoactive intestinal peptide. Causes of Achalasia. 1- Idiopathic 2- Amyloidosis 3- Sarcoidosis 4- Diabetic autonomic neuropathy 5- Chagas disease 6- Pseudoachalasia = Achalasia like symptoms due to cancer of gastroesophageal junction. Presentation of Achalasia a) Dysphagia / difficulty swallowing. b) Dysphagia is for both Solids & Liquids. c) Weight loss. d) Nocturnal cough & regurgitation. e) Heartburn doesnot occur because of closed esophageal sphincter prevent reflux. Diagnosis of Achalasia Barium Swallow 1- Barium Swallow shows bird-beak appearance. 2- Esophageal dilatation with uniform tapering of distal esophagus. Esophageal Monometry 1- It is most accurate test. 2- It shows decrease peristalsis in body of esophagus. 3- It also shows increased resting pressure in lower esophageal sphincter. Chest X-ray 1-It shows abnormal widening of esophagus. 2- Chest x-ray is neither sensitive nor specific test. Upper Endoscopy 1- It shows normal mucosa in Achalasia. 2- It is usful to exclude malignancy. Treatment 1- Pharmacologic treatment. a) Botulinum toxin injection:- It relax lower esophageal sphincter.It effects wear off in 3-6 months. b) Nitrates , calcium channel blockers 2-Non pharmacologic treatment a) Pneumatic dilatation. b) Hellers Myotomy #Achalasia #Esophagealdisorder #Swallowingdifficulty #Cardiospasm #Esophagealsphincter #Dysphagia #Gastrointestinalmotilitydisorder #Esophagealdysmotility #Esophagealmanometry #Heller myotomy #healthy #diseases#endoscopicsurgery #difficultyswallowing #diseasemanagement #diseasecontrol #medicalstudent #medicalstudent #medicine #healthcare #achalasia #esophageal #esophagus #healthyliving #healthylifestyle #healthyfood #healthy #medicalsolution #achalasiatreatment#achalasiasymptoms#achalasiapathophysiology #disease#health#mkmedicine#achalasiacauses#achalasiaofesophagus#achalasiacardiaphysiology#achalasiacardia#medicine#medicaldocumentary#esophagitis #esophagealmanometry#achalasiadisease#dysphagiaexercises#health #dysphagiatreatment#dysphagia#healthcaretips#mysterydiagnosisachalasia #Mkmedicine Channel link    / @mkmedicine   Dysphagia    • Dysphagia (difficulty swallowing),Causes ,...
