Reply to "Stricture"

They may be able to go in via a scope and open up the strictured area. I had a stricturoplasty (surgery) done on an area above my pouch but the stricture ended up returning (maybe b/c my UC diagnosis turned out to be Crohn’s?). I had multiple scopes done after that to open (and then re-open) the strictured area. Ironically, my stricture caused minimal symptoms for me personally but it was definitely a cause of concern for a number of GI people that I have seen along the way. Hope you can get some relief sooner rather than later!!
