Manometric Assessment

Manometric assessment is a diagnostic test that measures the pressure within the muscles of the gastrointestinal tract, such as the esophagus or anal sphincter. By inserting a thin, flexible tube equipped with sensors, healthcare providers can evaluate how well these muscles contract and relax during normal functions. This information helps identify issues like muscle weakness, coordination problems, or abnormal pressures that may cause symptoms like swallowing difficulties or bowel control issues. It’s a valuable tool for diagnosing conditions related to muscular function in the digestive system, guiding appropriate treatment strategies.
