==Causes==
* Reinforce the need for patients with esophageal stricture to comply with the usual antireflux precautions and lifestyle modifications.
===Life-threatening Causes===
* Encourage weight loss.
*Life-threatening causes of [symptom/manifestation] include [cause1], [cause2], and [cause3].
* Patients are told to eat smaller meals, avoid eating in a hurried fashion, and chew their food well.
*[Cause] is a life-threatening cause of [disease].
* Ill-fitting dentures or poor dentition should be corrected if possible.
===Common Causes===
* Educate all patients with esophageal stricture about avoiding medications known to cause esophagitis, including over-the-counter medications such as aspirin and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
Esophageal stricture may be caused by:
* Inform all patients that the stricture recurrence rate for esophageal stricture is higher if they are noncompliant with PPI therapy.
*Gastroesophageal reflux disease
* For patient education resources, see  Heartburn and GERD Center and Digestive Disorders Center, as well as  Acid Reflux (GERD) and  Heartburn.
*Previous surgery on the esophagus, postsurgical resection for esophageal or laryngeal cancer
*Surgical anastomosis
*Radiation therapy for thoracic or head and neck tumors
*Esophageal sclerotherapy
*Swallowing a substance that harms the esophagus, such as household cleaners, lye, or disc-shaped batteries,   caustic ingestions
*Treatment for esophageal varices (enlarged veins in the esophagus)
*Cancer
*An allergic condition called "[[eosinophilic esophagitis]]"
*Drug-induced stricture:
**Aspirin and anti-inflammatory agents
**Tetracycline
**Doxycycline
**Clindamycin
**Bisphosphonates
**Potassium chloride
**Quinidine preparations
**Iron compounds
**Emepronium
**Aalprenolol
**Pinaverium 
*External compression of the esophagus due to mediastinal fibrosis induced by tuberculosis or idiopathic fibrosing mediastinitis
*increased esophageal acid exposure (eg, systemic sclerosis, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, nasogastric tube placement, and after Heller myotomy for achalasia)

*[Disease name] is caused by an infection with [pathogen name].
*[Pathogen name] is caused by [pathogen name].
 
===Less Common Causes===
Less common causes of esophageal stricture include:
* [[Dyskeratosis congenita|Dyskeratosis congenita (DC)]]
*Rare dermatologic diseases (eg, [[epidermolysis bullosa dystrophica]])<ref name="pmid27384758">{{cite journal |vauthors=Guerra-Leal JD, Meester I, Cantu-Gonzalez JR, Ornelas-Cortinas G, Montemayor-Martinez A, Salas-Alanis JC |title=The Importance of Esophagography in Patients With Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa |journal=AJR Am J Roentgenol |volume= |issue= |pages=1–4 |year=2016 |pmid=27384758 |doi=10.2214/AJR.16.16115 |url=}}</ref>

Natural history and management of refractory benign esophageal strictures

Peptic esophageal stricture: is surgery still necessary?

Predictor of massive bleeding following stent placement for malignant oesophageal stricture/fistulae: a multicentre study

Complications of esophageal stricture dilation

Over time, the damage caused by stomach acid can scar the lining of the esophagus.When this scar tissue builds up, it makes the esophagus narrow. Called strictures, these narrow spots make it hard to swallow food and drinks, which can lead to weight lossand dehydration. medscape

Refractory Esophageal Strictures: What To Do When Dilation Fails

medscape:

  • Reinforce the need for patients with esophageal stricture to comply with the usual antireflux precautions and lifestyle modifications.
  • Encourage weight loss.
  • Patients are told to eat smaller meals, avoid eating in a hurried fashion, and chew their food well.
  • Ill-fitting dentures or poor dentition should be corrected if possible.
  • Educate all patients with esophageal stricture about avoiding medications known to cause esophagitis, including over-the-counter medications such as aspirin and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
  • Inform all patients that the stricture recurrence rate for esophageal stricture is higher if they are noncompliant with PPI therapy.
  • For patient education resources, see  Heartburn and GERD Center and Digestive Disorders Center, as well as  Acid Reflux (GERD) and  Heartburn.
