My friend has a cirrhosis problem. The ultrasound report shows splenic hilar varices and esophageal varices. But the doctor did the band ligation just on the esophageal varices. So how will the splenic varices will be treated?
Dear send me Endoscopy’s report spleenic varices would be addressed pharmacologicaly
these spleenic varices usually don't bleed, by adding inderal or carvidea like drugs we can reduce the the liver pressure and size of varices can reduce,
