Pain with swallowing can have various causes, ranging in severity from 'troubling' to 'worrying'. Finding the true cause means ruling out or confirming each possibility – in other words, diagnosis.
Diagnosis is usually a complex process due to the sheer number of possible causes and related symptoms. In order to diagnose pain with swallowing, we could:
Cause | Probability | Status |
---|---|---|
Esophageal Stricture | 98% | Confirm |
Candida / Yeast | 51% | Possible |
Do you experience pain when you swallow?
Possible responses:
→ No / don't know→ Occasionally / mild → Often / severe |
If you have fungal overgrowth in your esophagus, symptoms may include pain and difficulty in swallowing.
