Upper gastrointestinal bleeding due to portal hypertension in cirrhosis is one of the complications of severe cirrhosis and is life-threatening in severe cases. Ruptured bleeding occurs in about 12-15% of all cirrhotic patients each year, with a mortality rate of about 15-20% and a re-bleeding rate of 60% within 1-2 years after bleeding, with a mortality rate of 33%. The root cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding due to portal hypertension in cirrhosis is the rupture and bleeding of esophageal and fundic varices due to the increased portal vein pressure caused by cirrhosis. At present, gel therapy (mostly used for treatment of fundic varices), ligature therapy (mostly used for treatment of esophageal varices), splenectomy + portal vein dissection or bypass are mostly used in clinical practice. In addition to considering the above treatment options, it is also important to pay attention to the prevention of bleeding inducing factors, and the following preventive measures in daily life can reduce the upper gastrointestinal bleeding due to portal hypertension in cirrhosis: 1. Eating too much will cause an increase in portal vein pressure, resulting in gastric edema and erosion, intestinal stasis, causing bleeding. Avoid spicy, fragrant, fried and baked foods, because these foods are hot and move fire. Chinese medicine believes that a poor diet, hunger and satiety, hot and cold can cause injury to the spleen and stomach, and the transportation and transformation are not normal. The thick paste and sorghum, baked dry and hot spicy products, easy to accumulate heat in the stomach, fumigate the liver and gallbladder, affecting the drainage function of the liver and gallbladder, burning the blood, forcing blood delusion, causing vomiting blood, blood in stool, aggravating the condition. In addition, acid and vinegar pickles and fishy seafood are more irritating and can damage the gastrointestinal mucosa, causing bleeding, and should be prohibited for patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding. 2, quit smoking and alcohol, tobacco and alcohol can have a harmful stimulating effect on the digestive tract. Patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding drink alcohol urgently, can make the gastric mucosa congestion, edema, and even erosion, resulting in acute gastritis, long-term consumption of strong wine, can lead to reduced resistance of the gastric mucosa, the occurrence of chronic inflammation, so that the gastric mucosa suffered erosion of their own gastric acid bleeding, ulcer. At the same time, alcohol enters the body and is mainly decomposed in the liver, which is more damaging to the liver and can affect the synthesis of coagulation factors, which can easily induce upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Chinese medicine believes that alcohol is bitter, sweet and pungent, and its nature is very hot. Ye Tianshi in the “clinical guide” said: “wine heat to kill the stomach and so on, all can help fire move blood.” This is because dry heat accumulates in the stomach and intestines, turning fire to burn the blood and overflow, resulting in vomiting blood. Tobacco is pungent and toxic, with more harmful ingredients, including nicotine has a strong stimulating effect on the gastric mucosa. Studies have proved that patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding smoke, stimulating the gastric mucosa, causing damage to the mucosa of the digestive tract, producing inflammation, erosion, ulceration and bleeding. Therefore, patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding is best to quit smoking and alcohol as soon as possible. 3, avoid strong tea and coffee Strong tea and coffee can strongly stimulate the secretion of gastric acid, which is not conducive to the healing of the inflammation of the digestive tract and ulcer surface, so patients with a history of gastrointestinal bleeding should not drink strong tea and strong coffee. 4, avoid bone spurs or hard and rough food hard and rough food easy to scratch, puncture the blood vessels and cause bleeding. Such as: shredded kelp, peanut rice, dry bun and chicken and fish food with bone spurs. 5, contraindicated anger, panic, with efforts, fierce strength “Suwen – lifting pain theory” said: “anger is gas up”, “fear is gas down”, “alarm is its chaos, “anger hurts the liver”, “panic hurts the kidneys”, “anger reverses the qi, and even vomits blood and spelling discharge”. Su Wen. The “Sheng Qi Tong Tian Lun” says: “Great anger will be the form of gas, and blood Court on the upper, so that people thin convulsions.” These sudden, strong or persistent abnormal fluctuations in emotions can cause disorders in the function of the internal organs and meridians, Qi and blood run out of order, Qi and blood rebellion, blood does not follow the meridian, overflowing out of the veins and cause bleeding. 6.Keep the bowel movement smooth. Avoid forceful defecation, coughing and other exertion to increase abdominal pressure and induce bleeding. 7.Be careful with non-steroidal and glucocorticoid drugs Commonly used non-steroidal drugs, such as: aspirin, acetaminophen (APC), indomethacin (anti-inflammatory pain), diclofenac (diclofenac pain), ibuprofen, nimesulide, etc. Commonly used glucocorticoids, such as: dexamethasone, prednisone, cortisone, methylprednisone, reinforcerone, etc. Because all of the above drugs can damage the gastroduodenal mucosal barrier, causing damage to the gastrointestinal mucosa and leading to peptic ulcer formation and bleeding.
