Patient's question:
After a week, water appeared again. At home, I received intravenous fluids for over a month, always with ups and downs. Now I am taking Cavir tablets.Doctor's answer:
Hepatic ascites is a complication that reappears when liver cirrhosis progresses to the decompensation stage of liver function. It is one of the most significant complications of liver cirrhosis. If severe abdominal pain occurs along with a recurrence of large amounts of ascites, it is necessary to go to a regular hospital for abdominal paracentesis to drain the ascites, and to administer anesthesia, human albumin, and plasma for relief. However, there is currently no specific medication for hepatic ascites. It is recommended that you first focus on mental regulation—avoid getting angry or fatigued, maintain a good mental state, and ensure you remain happy. Secondly, pay attention to dietary regulation. The general principle is to consume foods rich in vitamins, high in protein, low in fat, and low in starch, such as eating a variety of coarse grains, black rice, millet, soy milk, and more.
