Prophylaxis of achalasia of cardia

Prevention of cardiac achalasia is the prevention of a serious disorder of the lower part of the esophagus. Akhalasia - the Greek designation of spasm, or in other words - inability to relax. Cardia is the designation of the zone of the esophagus, located in front of the stomach itself. This disease is notorious for its protracted character, after the first spasm the reflex clamps of the esophageal sphincter become chronic. The disease affects people of any age, but most often occurs in the age of 40-45 years. Normally, the middle and outermost distal esophagus should contract rhythmically. If undulating movements, that is, peristalsis, are disturbed, a person experiences difficulties with swallowing food, as well as painful sensations in the esophagus itself. Gradually, the disease progresses, the tone of smooth muscles decreases in the same way as the active activity of the esophagus. Accordingly, the food stays in the esophagus longer than the required time, which means that the accompanying digestive problems begin.

Prophylaxis of achalasia of cardia is a whole complex of measures aimed at minimizing painful sensations. Unfortunately, there is no need to speak about primary prevention today, since the etiology of this disease is still unclear. As a rule, gastroenterologists associate achalasia with neurological diseases. Also, achalasia can become more active with a deficiency of certain vitamins in the body. There is even a pseudo-scientific explanation of cardiac spasm, this is another name for cardiac achalasia. For example, experts studying Eastern philosophy explain this ailment with a lack of energy in the throat chakra and blocking all the same energy in the lower chakras. Traditional medicine links absence

Reflex mechanism of expansion and opening of cardia with pathology and lesions of a part of the nervous system - parasympathetic. Particular attention is paid to modern medicine by the plexus, named after the doctor, who first described it - the wreath of Auerbach. It is responsible for the normal motor activity of the nervous system of the gastrointestinal system (enteral nervous system). Prevention of cardiac achalasia is also directly related to the exclusion of any infection of the esophagus walls.

The first description of achalasia as a separate disease dates back to the 17th century and belongs to the English scientist, Dr. Willis. Similar problems with peristalsis of the esophagus have different names - this is cardiopathism, and the aforementioned - achalasia, and mega-esophage. Suffer from achalasia and representatives of the stronger sex, and ladies, and in the total number of gastroenterological diseases associated with the stomach or esophagus, achalasia takes no more than 3 percent.

Prophylaxis of cardiac achalasia, such as it should be - primary, reliable, is also possible after a detailed study and clinically confirmed version of the deficiency of a specific enzyme in the human body. This is a neurotransmitter, which is responsible for the amount of nitric oxide. If this assumption finds a positive response in the entire medical world, then it is possible to produce special drugs, including those that can prevent cardiac achalasia.

But since today there is no single competent opinion about the cause of cardiac ahalasia, prevention of achalasia of cardia may consist of standard advice on healthy lifestyles and rational nutrition.
