Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -These muscle fibers are called the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). When this ring of muscle does not close all the way, stomach contents can leak back into the esophagus. This is called reflux or gastroesophageal reflux. Reflux may cause symptoms.

Detailed explanation-2: -Esophageal sphincter dysfunction can be very painful, causing acid reflux, problems eating, and even malnourishment. People who experience digestive issues or trouble swallowing should consult a doctor. Diagnosing the underlying cause may treat or even cure the symptoms of esophageal sphincter issues.

Detailed explanation-3: -The lower esophageal sphincter (LES) is a bundle of muscles at the low end of the esophagus, where it meets the stomach. When the LES is closed, it prevents acid and stomach contents from traveling backwards from the stomach. The LES muscles are not under voluntary control.

Detailed explanation-4: -Antacids, proton pump inhibitors and histamine receptor (H2) blockers to reduce stomach acid. Endoscopic dilation to open a narrowed esophagus or relax a sphincter muscle. Botulinum toxin (Botox®) injections to temporarily stop esophageal spasms or relax the sphincter muscle. More items •10-Aug-2021
