Achalasia in Dubai

Achalasia is a rare but serious condition that affects the ability of the esophagus to move food down into the stomach. It is caused by damage to the nerves that control the muscles in the esophagus, and can lead to a variety of symptoms, including:

 

  1. Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia): This is the most common symptom of achalasia, and it can make it hard to eat or drink without choking or coughing.
  2. Regurgitation: This occurs when food or liquid comes back up into the mouth after swallowing.
  3. Chest pain or discomfort: Some people with achalasia may experience pain or discomfort in the chest, especially when eating or drinking.
  4. Weight loss: Difficulty swallowing can make it hard to consume enough calories, leading to unintended weight loss.
  5. Heartburn: Some people with achalasia may experience a burning sensation in the chest or throat, similar to acid reflux.
  6. Coughing or choking: If food or liquid gets stuck in the esophagus, it can cause coughing or choking.

 

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s important to see a doctor for an accurate diagnosis and proper treatment. At German Medical Center, our experienced team of doctors and medical professionals specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of achalasia, and we’re here to help you get the care you need.

The exact cause of achalasia is not yet fully understood, but it is believed to be caused by damage to the nerves that control the muscles in the esophagus. This damage may be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors, such as:

 

  1. Autoimmune disorders: Some research suggests that achalasia may be an autoimmune disorder, where the immune system mistakenly attacks the nerves that control the muscles in the esophagus.
  2. Infection: Certain viral infections, such as herpes simplex virus, have been linked to the development of achalasia.
  3. Genetics: There may be a genetic component to achalasia, as it tends to run in families.
  4. Environmental factors: Exposure to certain environmental toxins or chemicals may also increase the risk of developing achalasia.

 

Overall, the exact cause of achalasia is still being studied, and further research is needed to fully understand this complex condition. If you are experiencing symptoms of achalasia, it’s important to see a doctor for an accurate diagnosis and proper treatment. At German Medical Center, our experienced team of doctors and medical professionals specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of achalasia, and we’re here to help you get the care you need.

There are achalasia treatment options, including:

 

  1. Pneumatic dilation: During this procedure, a small balloon is inserted into the esophagus and inflated to stretch the narrowed area and allow food to pass more easily. This is a safe and effective procedure that can provide long-term relief for many patients.
  2. Laparoscopic Heller myotomy: This is a minimally invasive surgery that involves cutting the muscle at the lower end of the esophagus to help food pass more easily. This procedure is also highly effective, with many patients experiencing significant improvement in their symptoms.
  3. Botulinum toxin injection: In some cases, a botulinum toxin injection can be used to relax the muscles in the esophagus and improve swallowing.
  4. Oral medications: Certain medications, such as calcium channel blockers or nitrates, can help relax the muscles in the esophagus and improve swallowing.
  5. Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM): This is a newer minimally invasive procedure that involves cutting the muscle at the lower end of the esophagus using an endoscope. This procedure is still being studied, but early results suggest that it may be a safe and effective treatment option.

 

The best treatment for achalasia depends on the individual patient and the severity of their condition. At German Medical Center, our experienced team of doctors and medical professionals specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of achalasia, and we work closely with each patient to develop a personalized treatment plan that meets their individual needs. If you are experiencing symptoms of achalasia, don’t wait to seek treatment. Contact us today to schedule an appointment and learn more about your treatment options.

I don't know what to say. First of all, I would like to thank Dr. Marwan for his advice and treatment. Before I visited the clinic, I was suffering from left shoulder pain that I can't sleep at night, after I got a treatment I feel much better and no pain anymore. Also, many thanks for all staff and his nurse.
Mohamed Binsafwan
Professor Sillem was the first doctor to diagnose my endometriosis and removed it surgically. I was pleasantly surprised by the success of the surgery, especially on my bladder. During a laparoscopy, a septum was also discovered and removed in a separate operation. This procedure, too, was performed very well in my opinion. Professor Sillem consulted me thoroughly before each operation, and I felt I received excellent medical care.

Prof. Dr. Sillem operated on my bladder for endometriosis for the first time in the fall of 2016, and in early March 2025, he removed my uterus. I feel very well looked after by him – he takes his time, listens, and addresses my concerns. The aftercare for both surgeries was also excellent – ​​he checked on me several times after the surgery. I always feel in good hands with him; I highly recommend him!
