Can't burp? How retrograde cricopharyngeal dysfunction is treated

Retrograde cricopharyngeal dysfunction (R-CPD) is a condition that impairs the ability to burp due to an overly tight cricopharyngeal muscle, which is located in the upper oesophageal sphincter. This rare condition can lead to discomfort from trapped gas, bloating, chest pain and social embarrassment. While burping is a simple reflex for most, those with R-CPD cannot release gas from the stomach through the oesophagus. Understanding the symptoms, diagnosis, and available treatments can help manage this condition effectively.
