High-Resolution Esophageal Manometry Test in Ahmedabad
A High-Resolution Esophageal Manometry is a test that looks for changes in the large intestine (colon) and rectum, such as swollen, irritated tissues, polyps, or cancer.
A long, flexible tube (colonoscope) is inserted into the rectum during a High-Resolution Esophageal Manometry. The doctor can see the inside of the colon thanks to a tiny video camera at the tip of the tube.
Polyps and other types of abnormal tissue can be removed through the scope during a High-Resolution Esophageal Manometry if necessary. Tissue samples (biopsies) can also be obtained during a High-Resolution Esophageal
Manometry.
The manometry test is commonly given to people who have:
If you experience symptoms that could be indicative of an esophageal problem, Dr Vivek may advise esophageal manometry. Esophageal manometry sheds light on how food travels from the oesophagus to the stomach. The test
evaluates your ability to open and close your sphincter muscles at the top and bottom of your oesophagus, as well as the force, speed, and pattern of the wave of esophageal muscular contractions that propels food along.
X-rays or an upper endoscopy, a technique that allows Dr Vivek to see your upper digestive system with a tiny camera on the end of a tube, may be ordered in addition to or instead of esophageal manometry if swallowing
problems or swallowing pain are your primary symptoms. These examinations detect or rule out any esophageal constriction, total obstruction, or inflammation. Esophageal manometry might be used to help diagnose:
Diffuse esophageal spasm : This uncommon swallowing issue is characterised by many, erratic, poorly timed esophageal muscle spasms.
Achalasia : This unusual condition happens when the muscle in your lower esophageal sphincter doesn't relax enough to allow food to pass into your stomach. As a result, you can have trouble swallowing and throw up food back up your throat.
Scleroderma : Many sufferers of this uncommon progressive condition experience severe gastroesophageal reflux because the muscles in the lower oesophagus stop contracting.
