Difficoltà a deglutire: quali sono i motivi? - Dott. Alfredo Saggioro

Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia) may be due to factors such as an overly elongated uvula or muscle hypertrophy caused by bruxism. In other cases, especially in elderly patients, it may be a manifestation of serious pathologies: a polyp, a neck tumor, a mechanical obstruction, or it may result from neurological causes such as a stroke, Parkinson's disease, or diabetic neuropathy. The main symptom is the sensation that food is not going down into the stomach, but is stuck along the way. If you experience pain when swallowing or sudden weight loss, it is important to investigate the causes with a specialist. Do you have questions for Dr. Saggioro?
