Schluckstörungen – wenn die Speiseröhre blockiert | Asklepios

Swallowing is a completely automatic process. However, for some people, this swallowing process is disrupted. Sometimes inflammation can be the underlying cause, but the causes are varied. If food gets stuck in the esophagus, it may be due to a narrowing or spasm of the esophageal muscles. Prof. Dr. Jürgen Pohl, Chief Physician for Gastroenterology at the Asklepios Klinik Altona https://www.asklepios.com/details/arz..., explains how swallowing disorders can be diagnosed, how a narrowing of the esophagus, for example, is treated at the Esophageal Center, what happens if a tumor is the underlying cause, and what modern treatment methods are available to restore full swallowing function. #swallowingdisorders #esophagealcenter #asklepios 📲 📣 Learn more on our website: http://www.asklepios.com😃 🔔 Subscribe to the Asklepios Clinics YouTube channel:    / asklepioskliniken   Follow us on... 😎👍 💊 Facebook:   / asklepioskliniken   💊 Instagram:   / asklepioskliniken   💊 Twitter:   / asklepiosgruppe   💊 Xing: https://www.xing.com/companies/asklep... 💊 LinkedIn:   / 98645   🏥 🚑💉 The Asklepios Clinics are among the leading private operators of hospitals and healthcare facilities in Germany.
