A gastroenterologist is a doctor who has advanced training in the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases such as diseases of esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon and rectum, pancreas, gallbladder, bile ducts and liver.
What does esophagus pain feel like?
Esophageal spasms are the painful contractions of the esophagus. These can cause intense chest pain that lasts anywhere from a few minutes to several hours. It is possible that some people would mistake it for heart pain (angina).
Esophageal spasms usually occur once in a while and don’t need any medication. However, spasms may occur frequently, preventing food and liquids from passing through the oesophagus. Treatments are available if these spasms are severe and prevents an individual from eating or drinking.
How long is recovery from esophageal surgery?
The majority of patients are then moved to an inpatient emergency room for a duration of around seven days. After the operation, patients should expect to recover and adjust their eating habits for six to eight weeks. After esophagectomy, most patients benefit from having smaller, more regular meals.
What can I drink to soothe my esophagus?
