Individuals with dysphagia encounter challenges in swallowing, potentially experiencing
pain (odynophagia) during the process. For some, the difficulty may extend to the point of
being unable to swallow or struggling to safely manage liquids, foods, or saliva.
Consequently, this condition poses a considerable challenge to the act of eating.
Dysphagia often hinders the intake of sufficient calories and fluids essential for
nourishing the body, consequently contributing to the development of additional severe
medical issues.
