Esophageal Varices

Don‘t just go for ANY TREATMENT... Go for the BEST TREATMENT
Esophageal Varices are swollen and enlarged veins in the lower part of the oesophagus, the tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach. These veins become enlarged because of increased pressure in the portal vein, which commonly happens in liver disorders such as cirrhosis. The condition itself may not cause symptoms until the veins rupture and bleed, which can be a medical emergency. Understanding and managing the underlying cause, especially liver health, is crucial for preventing complications.
Causes
The primary cause is portal hypertension, where blood pressure increases in the venous system connected to the liver. This happens most commonly due to:
- Liver cirrhosis (alcohol-related, viral hepatitis, fatty liver disease)
- Blocked blood flow in the portal vein
- Chronic liver inflammation
- Genetic or autoimmune liver disease
- The increased pressure forces blood to reroute through smaller veins in the oesophagus, causing them to swell and weaken.
Symptoms — What It Means to Your Body
Symptom | What You May Experience |
No symptoms initially | Varices may develop silently without discomfort |
Vomiting blood | Bright red or coffee-ground-like vomit |
Black, tarry stools | Due to digested blood passing through the bowels |
Dizziness or faintness | Resulting from blood loss |
Fatigue or weakness | Due to decreased blood supply and anaemia |
How Homeopathy Helps
Homeopathy supports liver function and reduces portal pressure, helping to prevent further enlargement of varices. It also promotes tissue healing, improves digestion, and strengthens blood vessels. Treatment aims to reduce the risk of bleeding, support liver recovery, and improve overall vitality. Homeopathy works holistically, addressing both physical and emotional strain.
Lifestyle / Care Tips
- Avoid alcohol completely to reduce liver strain.
- Maintain a low-fat, high-fibre diet to support liver function.
- Stay hydrated; drink water regularly.
- Avoid heavy meals; prefer smaller, frequent meals.
- Reduce salt intake to prevent fluid retention.
- Manage stress gently through deep breathing or meditation.
