What are Esophageal Strictures?
Esophageal strictures are the abnormal narrowing of the esophagus, leading to swallowing difficulties and food impaction.

Causes of Esophageal Strictures

• Chronic acid reflux (GERD)
• Esophageal injuries from infections or medications
• Radiation therapy

Diagnosis and Treatment
At Dr. Sachin Goel’s Clinic, we diagnose strictures using endoscopy and barium swallow studies.

Treatment options include:

• Esophageal Dilation: Stretching the narrowed area.
• Medications: Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) to manage acid reflux.
• Surgical Treatment: If strictures are severe.
