Esophageal Varices

Esophageal Varices Treatment in Indore

Esophageal varices are abnormally enlarged veins in the lower esophagus, often caused by liver diseases like cirrhosis that increase pressure in the portal vein (portal hypertension). These veins can rupture and cause life-threatening bleeding if not treated on time. Esophageal varices treatment in Indore focuses on preventing bleeding, controlling active hemorrhage, and addressing the underlying liver condition. Dr. Kripa Shankar Tiwari offers comprehensive care for esophageal varices through medical management, endoscopic procedures, and surgical interventions when needed.

Symptoms and Risk Factors

In many cases, esophageal varices do not cause symptoms until they bleed. Warning signs include vomiting blood, black tarry stools, dizziness, low blood pressure, and shock in severe bleeding cases. Risk factors include cirrhosis, hepatitis B or C infection, alcohol-related liver damage, fatty liver disease, and portal vein thrombosis.

Treatment We Provide

Dr. Kripa Shankar Tiwari provides expert evaluation with endoscopy and imaging to assess the severity of varices. Preventive treatments include medications like beta-blockers and endoscopic variceal band ligation. In cases of active bleeding, emergency endoscopic therapy is performed to stop hemorrhage. For recurrent or high-risk varices, advanced interventions like TIPS (Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt) or surgical shunts may be considered along with management of liver disease.
