Oesophageal motility disorder, or oesophageal dysmotility, is a condition in which the oesophagus doesn't work normally and fails to properly deliver liquids and food from the mouth to the stomach. It can be caused by oesophageal spasms or by the failure of the esophageal muscles to contract.
Most cases of esophageal stricture are caused by gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). In people with GERD the sphincter that closes to keep stomach contents from passing back up into the esophagus does not close properly. Repeated exposure to stomach acid can cause scarring on the esophageal lining.
Esophageal dilation is the most recommended esophageal stricture treatment. The doctor uses a balloon or dilator — a long cylinder made of rubber or plastic — to widen the esophagus. The doctor gives you sedatives before the procedure to relax you and may numb parts of your throat, so you don't feel pain.
