Understanding Sclerotherapy:
Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat esophageal varices—enlarged veins in the esophagus that can lead to life-threatening bleeding, commonly caused by liver diseases such as cirrhosis. In this procedure, a sclerosing agent is injected directly into the varices, causing them to shrink and eventually close off, preventing further bleeding.
Why is Sclerotherapy Done?
- Treating bleeding esophageal varices in patients with cirrhosis or portal hypertension.
- Preventing variceal bleeding recurrence in high-risk patients.
- Managing gastrointestinal bleeding when other treatments like banding or medication are insufficient.
- Controlling acute bleeding from varices in emergency situations.
Benefits of Sclerotherapy:
- Effective treatment for bleeding varices
- Quick recovery
- Prevents further complications
- Outpatient procedure
