“Cardia incontinentia” – do you know it?

“Cardia insipidus” – I believe that most people are unfamiliar with this disease or have never heard of it. In fact, it is not far from our lives, many people will have the symptoms of this disease, but the degree of depth is different. In the early stage of performance is not obvious, or only occasionally some response, often by our own neglect to.  What is pancreatic dyscrasia? Why does it cause this girl to suffer from the disease for a long time?  Cardia achalasia is actually an esophageal dysmotility disorder, a disease in which the body of the esophagus fails to peristaltic movement after swallowing and the cardia sphincter is poorly flaccid. As the disease progresses, cardia achalasia involves the entire esophagus, and gradually the esophagus becomes dilated. To make an analogy, if we compare the esophagus to a delivery pipe, the cardia is the valve function responsible for opening and closing. If the ability of the esophagus to push food to the side of the stomach is weakened and the valve does not open in time when the food passes through, the food in the esophagus does not pass quickly through the esophagus into the stomach. Food accumulates in the tiny space of the esophagus and even regurgitates or vomits out of the mouth. So patients experience difficulty in swallowing, chest pain, reflux, vomiting and even choking and coughing. Prolonged lack of food can lead to weight loss, anemia, and malnutrition.  The pathogenic principle of this disease is not clear. There may be a relationship with viral infection, toxins, nutritional deficiency or local inflammation.  So what are the typical symptoms of cardia loss of relaxation?  1, swallowing difficulties: early patients have swallowing difficulties, but not very obvious sometimes intermittent occurrence, may also be automatically relieved. If not detected and treated early, it can develop to the extent that food cannot be swallowed completely.  2. Chest pain: Chest pain can be of various characteristics. Such as cramping pain, pins and needles pain, stuffy pain, burning pain and so on. When the attack is like angina, so it is easy to be treated as a symptom of heart disease, and the condition does not improve for a long time. Here we remind you that it is crucial to find the root cause of the disease and to find a regular hospital and professional doctor to treat it.  3, reflux: With the difficulty of swallowing food, a large amount of food is retained in the esophagus, not into the stomach lumen, with the body changes, such as: lying down after eating, squatting movement, etc., food reflux out of the esophagus. Many people had been treated according to GERD for many years.  4, respiratory symptoms: cardia achalasia has obvious reflux symptoms, and the reflux can flow into the respiratory tract causing recurrent respiratory infections. Paroxysmal choking and coughing may occur at night.  Many patients may have had gastroscopy after the onset of symptoms, but there are no typical changes during gastroscopy in the early stages of the disease. The negative-shaped gastroscopy results may allow the treatment modality to go astray, and the effect of treatment will be greatly diminished when the esophagus is significantly dilated and relaxed.  Therefore, if you have the above-mentioned symptoms, go to the hospital as soon as possible to check the necessary early start of treatment, cardia failure disease should not be ignored. The diagnosis of this disease is relatively sensitive with esophagogram. To confirm the diagnosis and determine further treatment measures, sophisticated esophageal manometry equipment and specialized physicians are required. Endoscopic treatment techniques have been greatly developed, and relatively simple endoscopic treatment can provide significant relief of symptoms in most patients.
