Suggest Remedies For Difficulty In Swallowing And Frequent Burps
Hello, Cannot say in your particular case, but generally, if they suggest opening the esophagus: 1) Biopsy to rule out cancer should be done and can be done while stretching it 2) It works to help symptoms and is neither complicated nor risky. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr Matt Wachsman, Addiction Medicine Specialist
