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.
âBenignâ means esophageal cancer isnât causing the condition. Benign esophageal stricture typically occurs when stomach acid and other irritants damage the lining of the esophagus over time. This leads to inflammation (esophagitis) and scar tissue, which causes the esophagus to narrow. Although benign esophageal stricture isnât a sign of cancer, the condition can cause several problems. Narrowing of the esophagus may make it difficult to swallow. This increases the risk of choking.
