What is dysphagia?

The parts of the mouth and neck involved in swallowing are the tongue, pharynx or throat, larynx or voice box, esophagus or food channel, and trachea or windpipe.

People with dysphagia have difficulty swallowing and may even experience pain while swallowing (odynophagia). Some people may be completely unable to swallow or may have trouble safely swallowing liquids, foods, or saliva. When that happens, eating becomes a challenge. Often, dysphagia makes it difficult to take in enough calories and fluids to nourish the body and can lead to additional serious medical problems.
