The early symptoms of esophageal varices include melena, hematemesis, abdominal enlargement, etc.
1. Melena
If the esophageal varices rupture bleeding, blood may pass through the intestinal tract, be oxidized into black, and then form melena.
2. Hematemesis
When the esophageal varices rupture bleeding, if the amount of bleeding is large, blood may also be directly vomited, rather than discharged through the intestinal tract.
3. Abdominal enlargement The esophageal
varices may lead to portal hypertension, resulting in ascites, which may cause abdominal enlargement, and accompanied by abdominal distension, breathing difficulties and palpitations.
