Esophageal stricture treatment, managed by specialists like Dr. Surakshith T. K, involves addressing a narrowing of the esophagus that impairs swallowing. Causes of esophageal strictures include chronic acid reflux, inflammation, and scarring from injury or radiation therapy. To manage and prevent stricture formation, avoid excessive alcohol consumption, smoking, and poorly controlled acid reflux. The treatment often includes endoscopic dilation, where a balloon or bougie is used to widen the narrowed area, and sometimes the use of stents or medications to reduce inflammation. The benefits include improved swallowing function, relief from symptoms such as pain and difficulty eating, and enhanced quality of life. Dr. Surakshith T. K’s expertise ensures effective management and treatment of esophageal strictures.
