How to treat liver cirrhosis with varicose veins


Passionate about your health journey.
Splenomegaly and gastric varices are common complications of liver cirrhosis, and can be treated with drugs, surgery, and etiological treatment.
1. Drug treatment
Patients can use drugs to reduce portal pressure and reduce the degree of varicose veins according to doctor's advice. Commonly used drugs include bisoprolol tablets, atenolol, isosorbide dinitrate, etc.
2. Surgical treatment
For severe patients, surgery can be considered, such as splenectomy, gastric vein ligation, etc., to reduce portal pressure and prevent further development of varicose veins, so as not to lead to rupture bleeding.
3. Etiological treatment
Patients also need to actively treat the primary disease, and can choose liver-protecting and antiviral drugs according to doctor's advice, such as reduced glutathione, interferon, lamivudine, etc. If necessary, liver transplantation can be given to improve liver function.
