How to Treat Esophageal Varices How Are Esophageal Varices Treated? Do I need surgery?

Hello! Esophageal varices, mainly caused by portal hypertension, are more common in advanced liver cirrhosis, liver cancer, and congenital dysplasia of the portal vein system.

There is currently no specific drug and it needs to be addressed by endoscopic injection of sclerosing, ligation, or surgery**.

Esophageal vein rupture and bleeding can often be life-threatening, and you need to go to the hospital immediately for treatment, and you can't save yourself.

Esophageal varices, to be the primary disease, because esophageal varices are likely to be a complication of a primary disease, only by curing the primary disease can the esophageal varices be completely solved, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a detailed physical examination, according to whether there is a primary disease.

Varicose veins refer to the tortuosity and dilation of veins due to factors such as blood stagnation and weak venous walls. Varicose veins can occur in many parts of the body, such as hemorrhoids are actually a kind of varicose veins, and clinical manifestations include esophageal and gastric varices, varicoceles and abdominal wall varices. Varicose veins most often occur in the lower extremities.

It is worth emphasizing that varicose veins are secondary manifestations of other lesions.

Varicose veins** method.

The World Health Organization reminds that not exercising for 4 hours in a row will increase the chance of developing varicose veins, and the risk of venous thrombosis is as much as 3 times higher than that of people who walk around regularly, and regular exercise is the most effective prevention and control measures, in the past, the medical community believed that taking a long plane in deep vein thrombosis is a major trigger, and the latest study found that sitting in front of the computer for a long time has become a major cause of the disease, sitting in front of the computer for 90 minutes, will lead to a 50% reduction in blood flow to the knees, This increases the chance of varicose veins.

Varicose veins prevention and treatment methods.

1. Usual eating habits, the choice of food, and the choice of taste, directly affect blood concentration. Severe high sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, heavy oil, excessive salt, high calorie, this kind of food has a great impact on people's blood pressure, but also increases the consistency of blood. The blood concentration is high, the molecular weight of oxygen in the blood is low, the flow velocity is also low, the return is difficult, and the systolic pressure in the atria gradually increases.

Chest tightness, shortness of breath, palpitation, dull pain in the heartbeat. In the long run, heart disease is prone to occur, venous blood vessels are prone to accumulate clots, and in severe cases, veins are blocked, hardened, and even necrotic. Varicose veins are generally given a light, easily digestible and nutritious diet.

2. You should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits with more water every day, replenish sufficient water, and at the same time, dilute the blood, increase the reflux rate, and replenish sweat, which is good for varicose veins. You should eat more low-fat and low-calorie foods, such as fresh vegetables, fruits, grains, lean meat, skim milk, egg white, etc., especially green vegetables, kelp, jellyfish, seaweed, fungus, soy products and foods containing vitamin B and C, etc., eat more vegetables, fruits, beans and other foods with high fiber, and you can also eat some lean beef, chicken, etc., which can warm the meridians. Eat more foods rich in vitamin E:

Eating more foods containing vitamin E can improve blood circulation and reduce the feeling of heaviness in your legs. Foods rich in vitamin E include: cabbage, spinach, cabbage, malt, nuts, soybeans, whole wheat, whole grains, eggs, etc.

It is beneficial for varicose veins.

1. Avoid standing or sitting for long periods of time. Maintaining one position for a long time will reduce the blood return to the lower limbs, and it is necessary to ensure good blood circulation in the lower limbs by intermittently changing the body position. Recommendations:

Change body posture every 30 minutes. If possible, you can take a small walk in the office or simply stretch your lower limbs.

2. Elevate the lower limbs or keep the knee joints straight when sitting, which can effectively reduce the pressure of the veins of the lower limbs. Suggestion: When sitting, you can put your feet on another stool if you can; You can sleep with your feet up to 10 cm high.

3. Choose shoes with low heels and loose pants, and try to avoid wearing high heels. Clothes that are too tight can hinder local blood circulation.

4. Develop regular exercise habits. Moderate exercise can both boost blood circulation and maintain muscle tone. Recommendation: Walk or jog for 30 minutes a day.

Varicose veins method.

1. Do not squat and rest.

If you squat and sit down to rest immediately after fitness exercise, it will hinder the blood return of the lower limbs, affect blood circulation, and deepen the fatigue of the body. This condition is more common in those activities that involve a lot of exercise, such as long-distance running. The correct way is to do more relaxation and tidying activities after each exercise, such as slow walking, leg relaxation, etc.

2. Don't take a cold bath (or swim) when sweating

When you sweat profusely after exercise, the capillaries on the body surface dilate, and a lot of heat is dissipated in the body. At this time, if it encounters cold water, it will cause the capillaries to shrink suddenly, which is easy to reduce the body's resistance and cause diseases.

3. Do not "omit" finishing activities.

When you feel tired after every exercise, you should relax appropriately, such as freehand exercises, walking, relaxation massage, etc., which is very helpful for eliminating muscle fatigue and quickly recovering physical strength.

4. Don't be greedy for cold drinks.

You lose a lot of calories when you exercise, and it's understandable that you need to replenish it urgently. However, after exercise, the human digestive system is still in a state of inhibition, and eating a large number of cold drinks can easily lead to gastrointestinal cramps, diarrhea, vomiting, and easily induce gastrointestinal diseases.

Only the right approach will allow you to run fast, be efficient, and not be prone to injury. If you pay attention to some problems after running, you can reduce the possibility of injury after running.

Varicose veins** method.

If a patient's friend discovers esophageal varices, there is no need to panic. First of all, we should pay attention to the diet to avoid eating raw, cold, and hard food, and eat soft, light, and easily digestible foods to prevent damage to the surface of the esophagus. Secondly, we should consider the method of ligating esophageal varices by gastroscopy.

However, the underlying cause of esophageal varices is portal hypertension. Although varices are ligated with a gastroscope, hyperbaric portal blood flow can still form varices in the rest of the esophageal wall, causing varices** to bleed again.

Varicose veins** method.

Clause. 1. The elderly should often participate in moderate and gentle exercises, such as tai chi, climbing, brisk walking, swimming, etc., which can strengthen the exercise of calf muscles and improve the body's resistance. These gentle exercises can help relieve pressure on the lower limbs, reduce venous congestion, promote blood return, and avoid the onset of varicose veins.

Clause. Second, don't be too depressed after the occurrence of varicose veins, choose scientific and effective methods to solve it in a timely manner. You can't blindly listen to some home remedies in the society, because the blood vessels are thin and brittle after suffering from varicose veins, and the skin is fragile.

Clause. 3. Pay attention to keeping warm in winter, because of the cold and slow blood flow in winter, it is easier to cause blood stasis in the veins, promote thrombosis, which can lead to thrombophlebitis, and in severe cases, it can lead to deep vein intravascular thrombosis. Therefore, the elderly should do a good job of keeping warm in winter to prevent varicose veins caused by freezing blood vessels.

1. Avoid standing and sitting for a long time, and get up and move appropriately. Prevents blood from accumulating in the lower limbs, which is not suitable for people who often sit in the office. However, it is possible to relieve the pressure in the veins by drinking plenty of water, improve the viscosity of the blood, and help the recovery of varicose veins.

2. In winter, the legs are relatively dry, **lack of nutrition, do a good job of protective measures to avoid leg injuries. Apply body lotion properly after bathing at night to relieve itching caused by dryness, and can also prevent patients from bleeding caused by scratching and aggravating varicos.

3. Raise your legs. Raising the leg position about 15 cm before going to bed can help promote venous blood return, relieve pressure on the lower extremities, and prevent varicose veins from worsening.

Varicose veins method.

1. Soak wolfberry in wine, take 200 grams of wolfberry, remove the rotten ingredients, clean and dry, pour it into the liquor and seal and soak it for about half a month, remove it and drink it directly, twice a day, 10-20 ml at a time. It has the effect of lowering blood lipids, lowering blood sugar, menstrual blood pressure, and regulating immunity, so it can promote blood flow in the veins of the lower limbs and help the development of varicose veins.

2. Peanut and red bean porridge, 100 grams of peanuts and red beans, wash them with water, and boil them together until the peanuts and red beans are boiled.

3. Add alum to sweet potato, mash the sweet potato into pieces, add alum powder, stir evenly, and then apply it to the affected area of varicose veins, sweet potato has an antioxidant effect, which can effectively maintain the elasticity of the blood vessel wall, help blood vessels to constrict and promote blood circulation.

Varicose veins are vascular diseases, so many home remedies for varicose veins are also methods, all of which are achieved by improving the blood state, so varicose veins only have the effect of improving and relieving, and cannot really be varicose veins, so varicose veins still have to choose scientific methods.

First of all, we should pay attention to maintaining good living habits in daily life, go to bed early and get up early, don't stay up late, and overwork, which will lead to endocrine disorders in the human body, which is not conducive to varicose veins.

Secondly, the usual diet must be light, not too greasy, control your weight, reduce the pressure of the veins and blood vessels of the lower limbs, and effectively help varicose veins**.

Early patients require topical medications to reduce symptoms. Propranolol can be used to reduce esophageal venous pressure. Esophageal varices are mainly caused by the effects of esophageal venous return caused by portal hypertension.

The main symptom is hematemesis, with a mortality rate of 30% to 50% during bleeding episodes. Therefore, patients must seize the best opportunity and do not delay, otherwise complications such as shock will form in the later stage, and the difficulty will become more and more difficult.

Pituitary vasopressin and somatostatin can be used outside the human gastrointestinal** for mild esophageal varices, while endoscopy** can be used for severe esophageal varices. It can be tied with a leather band first, and then reinforced with a small dose of sclerosing agent to effectively improve bleeding. This is faster, less, and the mortality rate is significantly reduced.

However, special care should be taken when choosing a hardener. Some sclerosing agents can cause significant local thrombosis and even inflammation, ulcers, and fibrosis, which can affect blood circulation to local tissues.

If the degree of esophageal varices is severe, there is a risk of rupture and bleeding, or if the drug does not work well, endoscopy is required. The esophageal vein is ligated and then reinforced with sclerosing agent to prevent esophageal vein rupture and bleeding. This method is fast and small, which can greatly reduce the probability of death.

If the patient's portal pressure is too high or their own circulation is poor, surgery should be considered**. Surgery** is divided into scarcity surgery and shunt surgery. Devascularization is the removal of the spleen first, and then the veins around the esophagus and the internal veins, which can effectively relieve hypersplenism and reduce the risk of bleeding from esophageal varices.

Shunt is to connect the portal venous system with the vena cava system, so that the blood in the portal vein flows into the vena cava, reducing the pressure of the portal vein, so as to effectively control and reduce esophageal varices and prevent them from rupturing and bleeding. In daily life, it is necessary to pay attention to avoiding bowel movements, maintaining good living habits, and avoiding smoking and drinking. In the case of hepatitis B and C, antiviral** is required.

Esophageal varices can be treated with endoscopy and surgery, including endoscopic sclerosing agent injection and endoscopic esophageal variceal ligation. Surgery** mainly includes pericardia vascular dissection, and if hypersplenism is present, the spleen needs to be removed.

It should be carried out first in the form of dietary therapy**, or in the form of traditional Chinese medicine chemotherapy, if it really does not work, surgery is required, because esophageal varices have a great impact on our body.

The number of esophageal varices is mainly based on the length of the varicose veins. There are two methods: conservative and surgical. Mild cases can be treated with medications**, and for severe esophageal varices, endoscopic variceal ligation is required.

Patients with varicose veins need to pay attention to their diet, avoid eating too hard and bone-bearing foods, and eat small and frequent meals.
