Swallowing Difficulty Doctors in Malta

Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia) can be caused by oesophageal strictures, achalasia, reflux disease, neurological conditions, or oesophageal cancer, and requires thorough investigation. Gastroenterologists assess swallowing difficulty through endoscopy, barium swallow, and oesophageal manometry to identify the cause and recommend dilation, medication, or surgical intervention. Prompt investigation is particularly important when dysphagia is progressive or associated with weight loss.
