| Category | Esophagus and Stomach Disorder |
An esophageal stricture is an abnormal hardening or narrowing of the esophagus. Your esophagus is a muscular tube that connects your throat to your stomach and carries food and liquids. A stricture narrows the esophagus, making it difficult for food to pass through the tube. Conditions or treatments that cause inflammation or scarring in the esophagus can lead to strictures.
