MedHelp Member's Question

sphincter of oddi

Tags: spasms, sphincter, Pain

I had my sphincter of oddi widened a few years ago because it was narrowed. I was causing horrible spasms. After it was widened....pain was gone.

My question is this. Can a sphinter of oddi have to be widened again in time?

Thank you.

Yes. it may have to be worked on again. If you are experiencing symptoms, make sure you check with your doc.
