Hi, I have recently been diagnosed with varices of the liver due to alcoholism and Hepatitis C. They said Im in stage 2 and will not refer me to the treatment. Should I contact a specialist and what can I do to get the treatment. I do not want to wait for stage 3 to be refered. I only carry medicaid.

Hello,
You have varices due to cirrhosis of the liver. For varices sclerotherapy or bang ligation are some treatment option. You can Consult hepatobiliary or gastro surgeon for your detailed evaluation and management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
