One of the causes of esophageal strictures is gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD, a condition in which excessive acid is refluxed from the stomach up into the esophagus. 1  This causes an inflammation in the lower part of the esophagus.
An esophageal stricture is a gradual narrowing of the esophagus, which can lead to swallowing difficulties. The strictures are caused by scar tissue that builds up in the esophagus. When the lining of the esophagus is damaged, scarring develops. When scarring occurs, the lining of the esophagus becomes stiff.
