Children with portal hypertension and prehepatic forms need surgery?

Patient's question:

On May 3rd of this year, my daughter started experiencing stomach pain, then vomiting blood with clots and black stool. Now she is at Xiangya Hospital in Changsha.

Doctor's answer:

Patients with portal hypertension are most prone to varicose veins in the esophagus, stomach fundus, etc. After dilatation, the veins are easily ruptured and bleed. Due to individual differences, the surgical outcomes may vary.
Children have weaker immune systems, making them more susceptible to vascular malformations. For parents, it is important not to panic and should promptly take their children to a top-tier hospital for examination and treatment. Additionally, regular check-ups should be conducted for the child, and medication should be administered under the guidance of a doctor.
