Presbyphagia is the name of the condition which happens when you can't swallow properly. It's usually something that develops slowly over time because it's really caused by muscle weakness in your throat and esophagus, but there are several other things that can cause it. This makes it important for you to take care of your throat and esophagus properly because this condition can lead to serious health problems like choking, pneumonia, and malnutrition.
The speech therapist is a professional who specializes in speech, language, social and cognitive communication, as well as swallowing disorders. He is responsible for evaluating, diagnosing and treating conditions that affect oral communication, pronunciation, language comprehension, voice and the ability to swallow. He uses specific therapeutic techniques, exercises and activities to improve communication and swallowing in people of all ages, from children to older adults. It is advisable to see a speech therapist if you have difficulties with speech, language, communication or swallowing, to receive a complete evaluation and a personalized treatment plan that promotes optimal development and functionality in these areas.
Remember that for the proper selection of health professional that treats presbyphagia you must consider the nature, severity and symptoms you are presenting.
