Explanation

A minor stricture refers to a slight narrowing of a tube, channel, or passageway in the body. This could be in the esophagus, intestines, or other areas. This narrowing can make it harder for substances like food or waste to pass through. It's called "minor" because it's not severe and doesn't completely block the passageway.
