Advanced Swallowing Disorder Evaluation by Dr. Dipen Agrawal
Difficulty in swallowing, unexplained chest discomfort, or persistent acid reflux may indicate an underlying esophageal motility disorder. At Niramay Gastro, Esophageal Manometry Treatment is performed by Dr. Dipen Agrawal to accurately evaluate how the esophagus functions during swallowing and digestion.
This advanced diagnostic test helps identify the exact cause of esophageal symptoms and guides precise, effective treatment.
What Is Esophageal Manometry?
Esophageal Manometry is a specialized diagnostic test that measures the muscle contractions and pressure inside the esophagus. It evaluates how well the esophageal muscles and the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) work together to move food from the mouth to the stomach.
Unlike routine scans, this test provides real-time functional information, making it essential for diagnosing motility disorders.
Why Is Esophageal Manometry Performed?
Dr. Dipen Agrawal may recommend esophageal manometry to diagnose or evaluate:
- Difficulty or pain while swallowing (dysphagia)
- Non-cardiac chest pain
- Suspected achalasia
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) evaluation
- Esophageal spasms
- Pre-surgical assessment for anti-reflux surgery
- Poor response to acid reflux medications
At Niramay Gastro, the test ensures accurate diagnosis before initiating long-term treatment or surgery.
How Is the Esophageal Manometry Test Done?
The procedure involves passing a thin, flexible tube through the nose into the esophagus. The tube contains pressure sensors that measure muscle activity as the patient swallows small sips of water.
Key Points:
- Takes approximately 20–30 minutes
- Performed without sedation
- Safe and well tolerated
- Patients can return to normal activities shortly after
Dr. Dipen Agrawal ensures the procedure is done gently, comfortably, and with clear guidance throughout.
