Schatzki Ring treatment in Celaya

The Schatzki ring is a band-shaped narrowing that forms in the lower part of the esophagus, near its junction with the stomach. It can reduce the passage of solid food into the stomach.

Frequent symptoms: A sensation that food gets stuck when swallowing, especially with solid foods, and sometimes discomfort associated with reflux.

When to see a doctor? It's advisable to evaluate recurrent difficulty swallowing or episodes in which food gets stuck, especially if they recur.

Which specialist treats it? The gastroenterologist studies the esophagus and, when necessary, the endoscopist performs the internal evaluation; a general surgeon may intervene in selected cases. If you notice that swallowing has become difficult, the advisable thing is to discuss it with a professional to clarify the cause.
