Endoscopy for Dysphagia

What is Dysphagia?

Dysphagia refers to difficulty in swallowing food or liquids. It can be a sign of underlying problems in the esophagus, throat, or stomach. At Narayana’s Hospital, we offer advanced endoscopy for dysphagia to identify the exact cause and provide timely, effective treatment.

Dysphagia is a condition where a person feels:

  • Difficulty swallowing food or liquids

  • Sensation of food getting stuck in the chest or throat

  • Pain while swallowing

  • Regurgitation or choking

Early evaluation is important to prevent complications such as aspiration or weight loss.

Why is Endoscopy Needed for Dysphagia?

Endoscopy allows doctors to:

  • Directly visualize the food pipe (esophagus) and stomach

  • Detect narrowing, blockage, or inflammation

  • Identify ulcers, growths, or tumors

  • Take a biopsy if required for accurate diagnosis

It is one of the most reliable tests for evaluating dysphagia.
