Explanation

"Possible stricture" in medicine refers to the potential narrowing of a tube, pipe, or passage in the body. This could be in the esophagus, intestines, or any other part of the body where fluids or other substances need to pass through. This narrowing can make it difficult for substances to pass, potentially causing discomfort or other health issues. The term "possible" indicates that the medical professional suspects this condition, but further tests may be needed for confirmation.
