Esophagogastric Ring
An esophagogastric ring is a band-shaped narrowing in the lower part of the esophagus, near its junction with the stomach, which can reduce the space through which food passes.
Frequent symptoms: When it causes discomfort, it usually presents as difficulty or a sensation that food gets stuck when swallowing, especially with solids; in many cases it does not cause symptoms.
When to see a doctor? It is reasonable to consult when there are repeated episodes of choking or difficulty swallowing.
Which specialist treats it? The gastroenterologist evaluates the esophagogastric ring, with support from the endoscopist and, in specific situations, the general surgeon. If you notice that swallowing becomes difficult recurrently, a professional evaluation helps to clarify the cause.
