As a result, every time he eats now, it becomes a painful thing. He is afraid and doesn't want to eat anymore.

Yu Zhiming looked at the other party's round, fat figure of nearly 200 pounds, and thought to himself, it's time to lose weight.

There are many causes of dysphagia. Common causes include esophagitis, esophageal tumors, brain diseases, etc.

Yu Zhiming first performed an esophageal examination on the patient.

No inflammation, tumor canceration, esophageal sphincter relaxation, esophageal hiatus and other lesions or abnormalities were found.

To put it simply, the patient’s esophagus was quite healthy during Yu Zhiming’s examination.

This led him to suspect that the cause was brain diseases such as stroke, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease.

Since the central and peripheral nerves play a regulatory and control role in the swallowing process, dysphagia may occur when they are pathologically or damaged.

However, after Yu Zhiming conducted a detailed exploration of the patient's brain, no obvious abnormalities were found.

Yu Zhiming, who didn't notice it for a while, asked Zhou Mo to buy some small cakes and let the patient eat them on the spot.

While the patient was eating heavily, Yu Zhiming's hand explored the patient's esophagus and finally made a surprising discovery.

The patient's esophagus actually twisted into a spiral shape during Yu Zhiming's exploration while he was eating!

This surprised Yu Zhiming.

When we eat, the muscles along the food pathway will contract and relax regularly when they are stimulated accordingly, transporting food along the esophagus.

However, when this patient's esophagus was stimulated by food, it contracted and twisted into a spiral shape!

This is really a rare situation.

Is this caused by abnormal spasm of the esophageal muscles?

Yu Zhiming made a guess!

Although the cause of the patient's dysphagia was found, Yu Zhiming had no idea why his esophagus spasmed into a spiral shape and how to treat it.

In view of the time factor of outpatient service, Yu Zhiming had to admit the patient to the hospital for further examination...

At nearly 6:30 in the afternoon, Yu Zhiming finished his work for the day and hurried to the cardiac surgery department.
Chapter completed!
