Esophagomalacia

Esophagomalacia is a condition in which the muscles of the esophagus weaken. This can be caused by various reasons such as infection, injury, malnutrition or other factors.

Symptoms of esophagomalacia may include chest pain, heartburn, belching, nausea and vomiting. If left untreated, this condition can lead to serious complications such as stomach or esophageal ulcers and bleeding.

Various methods are used to diagnose esophagomalacia, such as radiography, endoscopy and biopsy. Treatment may include lifestyle changes, such as stopping smoking and alcohol, and taking medications such as antacids and prokinetics.

If symptoms of esophagomalacia persist or worsen, you should see a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.
