How long does it usually take to treat varicose veins in the fundus of cirrhosis?

  The treatment time for cirrhotic fundic varices is closely related to the severity of the disease and the treatment modality.  Fundic varices are a common complication of cirrhosis and can easily cause upper gastrointestinal bleeding. The main clinical treatment for cirrhotic fundic varices is the use of vasopressin to reduce the pressure in the portal vein and esophageal varices to control or prevent bleeding, which is usually effective in about 5-7 days of medication. For mild varices, propranolol or carvedilol is generally used to reduce portal vein pressure and prevent bleeding, and long-term use is recommended. If medication does not work and there is heavy bleeding or repeated bleeding in a short period of time, surgical methods need to be used to stop the bleeding by giving local vascular ligation or disconnecting the local varicose veins, which takes about 2 weeks to recover after surgery.  It is recommended that the patient should eat liquid or semi-liquid food that is easy to digest, forbid cold, hard, fried and barbecued food, and pay attention to eating less and more meals, supplementing nutrition and increasing the intake of high vitamin food.
