Hello Doctor,
I've been experiencing discomfort in my abdomen, along with some other symptoms, and I'm trying to understand what might be causing it all. Could you explain to me what Portal Hypertensive Gastropathy is and how it could be contributing to my symptoms?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Portal Hypertensive Gastropathy is a condition characterized by gastric congestion due to increased pressure in the portal vein. This elevated pressure leads to the development of a distinct pattern of red spots, resembling a mosaic, throughout the gastric mucosa.
To address your symptoms, it's important to focus on dietary changes. I recommend incorporating more dietary fiber into your meals, as it can help with regular bowel movements. Don't forget to stay well-hydrated by drinking an adequate amount of water daily; this is crucial for maintaining healthy digestion.
Thanks
