What Is Portal Hypertension?
Portal hypertension is high blood pressure in the vein that carries blood from your digestive organs to your liver.
That vein is called the portal vein. When something blocks or scars your liver (like liver cirrhosis), blood cannot flow easily. Pressure builds up. This pressure is what we call portal hypertension.
Think of it like a clogged pipe. The water has nowhere to go, so pressure shoots up.
If left untreated, this pressure can cause serious problems like internal bleeding, swollen veins in your stomach or food pipe (varices), and fluid buildup in your belly.
The good news? Dr. Tegbir Sidhu specializes in treating this condition right here in Mohali using modern, non-surgical methods.
- “We treat the pressure so your body can heal. No guesswork. No unnecessary surgery.” – Dr. Tegbir Sidhu
Who Needs This Treatment?
You need portal hypertension treatment if:
- You have liver cirrhosis (due to alcohol, hepatitis, or fatty liver)
- You experience unexplained vomiting of blood or black stools.
- Your doctor found enlarged veins (varices) in your esophagus or stomach.
- You feel constant bloating or swelling in your belly (ascites)
