Sphincter of oddi Dysfunction - What is it exactly?

Dr. Anton, a gastroenterologist in Melbourne, discusses Sphincter of body dysfunction, a rare condition affecting the muscular valve at the junction of the common bile duct and pancreatic duct. This valve regulates the flow of bile and pancreatic juices into the small intestine. Dysfunction occurs when the valve fails, leading to symptoms like abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting, often resembling gallstone pain, particularly in patients who have had their gallbladder removed. Symptoms may worsen with fatty foods, stress, physical activity, or certain medications. Diagnosis can be challenging and may involve tests such as liver function monitoring, ultrasounds, or MRIs. Treatment typically includes lifestyle changes, like a low-fat diet, and may involve endoscopic procedures like Botox injections or sphincterotomy. Untreated, it can lead to complications such as pancreatitis or bile duct issues, but more commonly results in recurrent pain affecting quality of life. Preventative measures include maintaining a healthy lifestyle and avoiding triggers. Note this video is not a medical consultation.
