Overview
Effective measures for the primary prevention of esophageal stricture include treatment and lifestyle modification for gastroesophageal reflux disease, taking pills with a full glass of water and storing all corrosive chemicals.
Primary Prevention
Effective measures for the primary prevention of esophageal stricture include:
- Treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease with proton pump inhibitors or H2 antagonists as a most important cause of esophageal stricture[1][2]
- Life style modification for gastroesophageal reflux disease such as avoiding:
- Spicy foods
- Tobacco
- Alcohol
- Peppermint
- Chocolate
- Food before bedtime
- Life style modification for gastroesophageal reflux disease such as avoiding:
- Take pills with a full glass of water in upright position in order to prevent pill induced esophagitis as a cause of esophageal stricture [3]
- Store all corrosive chemicals out of the reach of children[4]
