Stricture at the gastroesophageal (GE) junction refers to a narrowing of the area where the esophagus meets the stomach. This condition can result from various causes, including chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), inflammation, or scarring from previous surgeries or injuries. Symptoms may include difficulty swallowing, chest pain, and regurgitation. Diagnosis typically involves imaging studies or endoscopy, and treatment options may include dilation procedures or surgery.

Does urethra stricture and urethrocystopy cause infertility?
Yes: My husband had a stricture after having a catheter in for about 2 weeks after heart surgery. We were able to conceive once, but it took us a year (this ended in MC at 15 weeks). The stricture seemed to get worse and we have been unable to conceive. He also had increasingly worse problems with urination. His urologist concluded that the stricture was causing too low of volume leading to infertility. While his sperm numbers were great for the amount of volume, the lack of semen just wasn't enough to get to where it needs to go. He will have his stricture removed next week and we are hoping for success with this.
Dilation is usually ?
