Narrowing in the esophagus, known as esophageal stricture, can occur in several locations, most commonly at the lower esophagus due to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or at the upper esophagus due to conditions like achalasia. It can also occur at the mid-esophagus, often due to tumors, inflammation, or scarring from injury or surgery. Additionally, congenital factors can lead to narrowing in various regions throughout the esophagus.

What separates stomach and esophagus?
The structure that separates the stomach and esophagus is called the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). This muscular ring is located at the junction of the esophagus and stomach and functions to prevent the backflow of gastric contents into the esophagus. When functioning properly, the LES opens to allow food to enter the stomach and closes to protect the esophagus from acidic stomach contents. Dysfunction of the LES can lead to conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
What is severe acid reflux?
Severe acid reflux can lead to esophagitis. The esophagus is the tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach. Muscles in the lower esophagus normally prevent stomach acid from coming back up into the esophagus, but when a person suffers from mild, moderate or severe acid reflux, the muscles do not stop the acid from entering the esophagus and this stomach acid can cause pain and inflammation of the esophagus, which is caused esophagitis. Managing acid reflux disease is all about preventing acid from leaking back up into the esophagus.
