Overview
Dysphagia is a medical term defined as "difficulty swallowing." It is a sensation that suggests difficulty in the passage of solids or liquids from the mouth to the stomach.[1] According to the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) which is endorsed by the WHO, dysphagia is a symptom rather than a disease.
