Answer
Patients with portal hypertension are most susceptible to varicose veins in the esophagus, gastric fundus, and other areas. After varices form, the veins are prone to rupture and bleeding. Due to individual differences, the effectiveness of surgery can vary. Children have weaker physical resistance and are more prone to vascular malformations. For parents and caregivers, do not panic. It is important to take children to a top-tier hospital for examination and treatment promptly. Additionally, regular checks should be conducted, and medication should be taken according to the doctor’s guidance for symptomatic anti-inflammatory treatment.
