What are the signs of dysphagia or most common cause of dysphagia? How do you fix dysphagia?
Gander Dysphagia Syndrome (BSD) is a condition
that causes severe difficulty in swallowing and breathing, which can lead to
difficulties for people with dysphagia, or difficulty swallowing solid objects.
This is in the back of their throat, in the esophagus, stomach, ureter or
bladder. There are usually more than 100 known cases in the UK.
What Is Dysphagia?
Dysphagia means "difficulty
swallowing".
What About Dysphagia Symptoms In Adults?
People who have dysphagia often have other
conditions; such as asthma, heart disease, sleep apnea, cysts or cancer of the
kidney or bladder or bowel. Those with female infertility may experience
difficulties during their menstrual period. As most cases occur among children,
men cannot usually be diagnosed with it. However, women can experience
dysphagia at any time during a woman’s reproductive life where they cannot
swallow certain substances. Dysphagia affects around 10% of all pregnancies in
this country.
What Are The Main Signs Of Dysphagia In Women?
People with dysphagia may experience some of
the following signs: - difficulty swallowing solid objects- difficulty
swallowing liquids- swallowing liquids without help- taking liquid substances
without effort- swallowing by pushing or pulling your tongue around. These
symptoms are often very noticeable and occur early after birth or when an
infant is born. It is important to check your doctor if you’re concerned about
these symptoms and have trouble swallowing solid things.
How To Treat Dysphagia In Children?
During pregnancy, medication for treating
dysphagia can reduce nausea and vomiting. You may need to use special medicines
to treat or manage these symptoms during menstruation. Some tablets for
managing dysphagia are OTC medicines, which are available over the counter in
pharmacies.
You may also want to talk to a doctor if you
think you may suffer from depression, anxiety or other psychological problems.
People with gander dysphagia can find themselves unable to swallow solid foods
or soft drinks, so you should avoid drinking fluids containing these substances
until you get medical advice.
How To Control Dysphagia Symptoms After Birth?
If any of these symptoms appear after birth,
the best way to control them is not to feed your baby any food you think may
cause dysphagia. Instead, feed a small bottle or bottle instead to hold your
baby’s mouth open while you feed it. If you are worried about your child having
a sore throat, use a suction tube instead of sucking hard. Make sure the tube
is put at the point of pain and never let go. Do not drink anything you think
will cause more problems.
If your baby has any other difficulties, tell
your GP about your baby’s diet. Also, you should talk to your GP if you notice
any change or symptoms of dysphagia in your child at least three times a week,
and seek medical advice if you notice you need additional help. If your baby
seems to have no problem swallowing, then you can try using a bottle instead of
suction and see whether that works better for you.
If you are thinking about giving up your
baby’s formula, it is important to take into account how difficult it would be
for you to produce enough milk every day for your child.
What Kind Of Surgery Should I Have?
If you have just had surgery for the removal
of a blockage or tumor, you should still contact your doctor to discuss your
treatment options. Your doctor must consider whether you should continue
treatment, or try alternative treatments for controlling your dysphagia
symptoms.
If you are worrying about the scar or
permanent changes your surgery may do, then it is important to speak to your
surgeon about your preferences, and ask for help with managing your dysphagia
symptoms.
What Is Caring For Dysphagia Patients Post An Operation?
When surgery is done to remove a stone after a
boob job, you should talk to your doctor about how well the operation went.
They may suggest a diet to support recovery, or they may advise that you speak
to a nutritionist, or dietary therapist.
If surgery is needed again to deal with the
same thing, then you should talk to your surgeon about the type of diet needed
to keep symptoms under control.
Your doctor may prescribe oral antibiotics for those with breast cancer, a prescription medicine called estrogens to stop sperm Arche development and a drug called bisphosphonate for menopausal women with dysphagia.
You may also need to take prescribed medicines
called H2 antagonists, which can help relieve the symptoms of dysphagia. These
include clonidine, promethazine, valium and scopolamine. These are very
different to drugs used to treat mental health conditions, so they should be
discussed separately or with your doctor.
So you’re probably wondering ‘what does being
left-handed mean’? Dysphagia happens to both sexes about half of the time, but
the reason it is so common is because we don’t understand why it occurs. When a
person is left-handed, there’s a genetic factor at play, and it leads to the
development of a condition, called Dominant Spinal Atrophy. During my PhD
studies I found out that some people who were left handed were slightly less
likely to develop dysphagia and more likely to pass on the condition to their
family members. The only gene known to influence the condition is one in the X
chromosome, called Dx16. According to research, being left handed makes you
“less vulnerable to developing dysphagia”. Therefore, it’s not uncommon for
someone to be born left-handed but as soon as people start using their hands,
the risk increases. One interesting recent study showed that dysphagia was
linked to another gene, called FGF18. We are yet to explain why this connection
exists or whether people with certain characteristics are less vulnerable to
developing dysphagia. But it sounds like the genes that make people less prone
to developing Dysphagia are located in the X-chromosome. So may be genetics and
brain anatomy work together for everyone. Maybe that explains why some people
can be left handed and others right handed. Who knows, right-handedness isn’t
the whole story, it’s only part of it!
