Manometry Test
Manometry Test in Gurugram | Esophageal & Anorectal Manometry
Manometry is an advanced and highly specialized diagnostic test used to evaluate the pressure, movement, and coordination of muscles in the digestive tract. It plays a crucial role in diagnosing functional disorders of the esophagus and anorectal region that are often not detectable through routine endoscopy or imaging. By measuring muscle contractions and relaxation patterns, manometry helps identify the exact cause of swallowing difficulties, reflux symptoms, or bowel dysfunction, enabling precise and targeted treatment planning.
Types:
Esophageal Manometry
Esophageal manometry assesses how well the esophagus transports food from the mouth to the stomach and how the lower esophageal sphincter functions. It is especially useful in patients with unexplained upper digestive symptoms.
It is recommended for:
• Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
• Non-cardiac chest pain
• Refractory GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease not responding to medication)
This test helps diagnose conditions such as achalasia, esophageal spasm, and other motility disorders that can significantly affect quality of life if left untreated.
Anorectal Manometry
Anorectal manometry evaluates the function of the rectum and anal sphincter muscles, which are essential for normal bowel control and evacuation.
It is indicated for:
• Chronic constipation
• Fecal incontinence
• Pelvic floor dysfunction
This test helps identify problems such as dyssynergic defecation, weak sphincter tone, or impaired rectal sensation, which are common but often underdiagnosed causes of bowel dysfunction.
