Let's talk about treatment, treatments can either be temporary fixes
- 00:06 - 00:06
or permanent.
- 00:09 - 00:10
The first option is esophagus.
- 00:11 - 00:13
Go my ah to me which is where the doctor
- 00:13 - 00:16
will make an incision to allow access to the sphincter
- 00:17 - 00:19
and then alter it to allow better flow into the
- 00:19 - 00:24
stomach. Majority of these are successful complications, however, include gastroesophageal
- 00:25 - 00:28
reflux disease known as GERD, which is simply where there's
- 00:29 - 00:31
a backup of stomach acid in the stomach.

The section.
- 00:35 - 00:39
Second option includes pneumatic dilation where a balloon is inserted
- 00:39 - 00:41
into the esophagus and is inflated.
- 00:42 - 00:45
This will stretch out the sphincter and healthy esophagus function
- 00:45 - 00:49
much better than what it did beforehand dilation, however, can
- 00:49 - 00:51
tear the sphincter, which would result in surgery.
- 00:55 - 00:58
Lastly there is Botox, Botox can be injected into his
- 00:58 - 00:59
finger through an endoscope.
- 01:00 - 01:02
If surgery is not an option, this is meant for
- 01:02 - 01:07
those who are at high risk for surgery and then
- 01:08 - 01:10
there is also a real life experience to watch
