Achalasia

Achalasia is a rare disorder of the esophagus that affects the ability to swallow food. It is caused by damage to the nerves in the esophagus, leading to symptoms like difficulty swallowing, regurgitation, chest pain, and weight loss. Treatment options include medications, balloon dilatation, surgical procedures, and peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM). This condition can impact the quality of life, and it's important to seek medical advice for proper management.
