Understanding Strictures: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment Options
Strictures are areas of narrowing or constriction in a tube or passage, such as the esophagus, intestines, or airways. They can be caused by a variety of factors, including scarring, inflammation, or abnormal growths. Strictures can cause symptoms such as difficulty swallowing, choking, or shortness of breath, and can be diagnosed through endoscopy or imaging tests. Treatment options for strictures depend on the underlying cause and may include dilation, medications, or surgery.
