Swallowing requires the complex coordination of muscle contractions between the mouth, tongue, throat and esophagus. Dysphagia results when one or more of these areas does not function properly due to trauma, surgical nerve or muscle damage, chemotherapy or radiation treatment.
Once your doctor diagnoses the exact type of swallowing disorder you have, an individualized treatment plan can begin immediately.
A bedside swallow exam is a test to see if you have dysphagia. Find out what to expect during this diagnostic test.
A fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing, also known as (FEES) test, is a procedure used to assess how well you swallow. During the procedure, a speech-language pathologist (SLP) passes a thin, flexible instrument through your nose.
