Do you have any trouble or discomfort in swallowing food? In a medical treatment called stricture dilation, the narrowed portion of the bowel is made wider. The muscular tube known as the esophagus delivers food and liquids from the neck to the stomach. When a stricture is narrowed, symptoms such as a burning sensation, trouble swallowing, and feeling like food is caught in the throat develop. As a result, the person experiences malnutrition, respiratory problems, and dehydration.
