Swallowing Difficulties (Dysphagia)

Understanding Swallowing Difficulties (Dysphagia)

Swallowing difficulties, also known as dysphagia, can be caused by a variety of issues, including neurological conditions, throat disorders, or aging. This condition can make eating and drinking difficult, leading to malnutrition or aspiration pneumonia. Dr. Varun Dave, a leading ENT Consultant in Mumbai, specializes in evaluating and treating dysphagia. Through a combination of diagnostic tests such as endoscopy or swallow studies, Dr. Dave identifies the root cause of the difficulty. Treatment may involve swallowing therapy, dietary changes, or surgical interventions to improve the swallowing function. His approach is to help patients regain the ability to swallow safely and comfortably, improving their overall health and well-being.
