Sideropenic dysphagia - what does this mean

Sideropenic dysphagia is a condition that occurs when the muscles of the throat and esophagus become weakened, leading to difficulty swallowing (dysphagia). this can be caused by iron deficiency anemia (sideropenia), which can lead to a lack of energy and reduced muscle strength.

What happens during the disease - sideropenic dysphagia

Sideropenic dysphagia is a condition caused by a deficiency of iron in the body, resulting in a decrease of the amount of hemoglobin that is available to transport oxygen to the muscles of the esophagus. this lack of oxygen causes the muscles of the esophagus to become weak and unable to contract properly, leading to difficulty in swallowing and an increased risk of choking on food or liquids.
