Dysphagia treatment we provide

Prof. Dr. Kamrul Hassan Tarafder offers the best Dysphagia treatment in Dhaka. The best way to choose the right treatment is to understand the exact cause first. So he examines the throat, airway, and swallowing movement before suggesting anything. Here’s the kind of support you’ll find here:

Medical Treatment

Some people improve with medicine. Infections, reflux, and inflammation often respond well to early treatment.

Endoscopy

Endoscopy assists us in observing the throat and esophagus in detail. It reveals any swelling or infection, and any blocking that may cause swallowing problems.

Swallowing Therapy

A trained therapist teaches exercises that strengthen throat muscles. Simple methods can be followed at home.

Esophageal Dilation

If the passage becomes narrow, dilation gently widens it. This helps food pass smoothly without getting stuck.

Diet Management

Food texture makes a big difference. Eating softer food or taking slow bites may ease the strain on the throat. Minor changes like this help many patients eat comfortably.

Surgical Correction

Some of the swallowing disorders may require surgery, particularly when it is structurally based. Surgery is advised only when absolutely needed.

Causes of Dysphagia

Swallowing issues don’t appear overnight. There’s usually a reason behind the discomfort. In Bangladesh, many patients face swallowing trouble after untreated throat infections or long-term reflux. Others deal with muscle weakness, scar tissue, or nerve-related problems. Some common causes include:

Throat muscle weakness that makes swallowing slow.
Nerve problems that affect coordination.
Acid reflux irritates the throat day after day.
Growths or swelling in the throat area.
Narrowing inside the esophagus.
Changes after surgery or radiation.
Age-related weakness.
Tonsil or adenoid problems in children.
Infections that spread deeper into the throat.
