Due to portal hypertension in liver cirrhosis, the blood vessels at the lower end of the esophagus and the fundus of the stomach become thicker and the tube walls become thinner.

Upper gastrointestinal bleeding is one of the common complications and causes of death in patients with liver cirrhosis and should not be taken carelessly.

In liver cirrhosis, portal hypertension can cause dilation of the lower end of the esophagus, gastric fundus and anal veins, and liver cirrhosis is often complicated by gastric mucosal erosion and ulcer disease. If you eat spicy food such as pepper, it will cause congestion of the gastric mucosa and increase peristalsis, thereby inducing upper gastrointestinal bleeding, causing anal burning pain and increased frequency of bowel movements, aggravating hemorrhoids, and causing anal fissures.
