Cirrhosis collateral circulation formation generally means that cirrhosis has developed to the decompensated stage. In the early stage of cirrhosis, liver function can still be compensated, but when cirrhosis develops to the decompensated stage, i.e. the middle and late stage of cirrhosis, the degree of liver function damage exceeds the compensatory ability of liver function, and at this time, the pressure of portal vein increases, so that the return flow of the portal vein is blocked, which can lead to the formation of side branch circulation. In the uncompensated stage of liver cirrhosis, due to the varices of esophageal-fundus vein, umbilical vein, hemorrhoidal vein and other parts of the body, the formation of these collateral circulation often causes more serious complications such as gastrointestinal bleeding. If you have cirrhosis, you need to go to the hospital in time for further examination and treatment. At the same time, you need to maintain a regular work and rest schedule, pay attention to the adjustment of the mind, and exercise appropriately.
