{{Esophageal stricture}}
Benign '''esophageal stricture''' is a narrowing of the [[esophagus]] that causes swallowing difficulties.  It can be caused by or associated with [[gastroesophageal reflux disease]], [[esophagitis]] (inflammation of the esophagus), dysfunctional lower esophageal sphincter, disordered motility, or a hiatal hernia.

It can be diagnosed with an X-Ray while the patient swallows barium (called a barium study of the esophagus), or by an endoscopy (in which a scope is passed into the esophagus).
==[[Esophageal stricture risk factors|Risk Factors]]==


[[Gastroesophageal reflux disease]] (GERD) affects approximately 40% of adults. Strictures occur in 7 to 23% of patients with GERD who are untreated.[http://www.emedicine.com/med/topic744.htm]


If it is caused by esophagitis, then it is treated by treating the infection (typically with antibiotics). It can also be treated with a special balloon that inflates in the esophagus (called "Dilation of the stricture"), or with other medications.  For example, an H2 blocker medicine (e.g., [[ranitidine]]) or a proton-pump inhibitor (e.g., [[omeprazole]]) can treat underlying acid reflux disease.
