Esophageal Disorders: Types, Risks, Symptoms and Causes-To know more Attend the 13th World Gastroenterology, IBD & Hepatology Conference 2023

Esophageal Cancer: Causes: Chronic irritation and inflammation of the esophagus, often due to Barrett's esophagus, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, or certain genetic factors. Symptoms: Difficulty swallowing, unintentional weight loss, chest pain, and hoarseness. Risks: Smoking, heavy alcohol use, obesity, GERD, and a family history of esophageal cancer increase the risk. Achalasia: Causes: Achalasia is a rare disorder where the lower esophageal sphincter fails to relax properly, causing difficulty in food and liquid passage into the stomach. Symptoms: Dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), chest pain, regurgitation, and weight loss. Risks: The exact cause is unknown, but it may involve autoimmune factors.

It causes inflammation that extends deep into the intestinal wall and can lead to complications such as strictures (narrowing of the intestine), fistulas (abnormal connections between different parts of the digestive tract), and abscesses. Ulcerative Colitis: Ulcerative colitis primarily affects the colon (large intestine) and the rectum. Unlike Crohn'
