My doctors did a barium swallow x-ray and found I have esophagus spasms in the lower part, around 10 cm. They suggested dilation to clear it, but because of the narrowing, there's a risk of damage or a tear, which might need surgery. I'm not sure if I should go ahead with the procedure in my city, Ranchi, or seek treatment somewhere else. What would be the safer option given the risks?
