What are the symptoms of ascites in cirrhosis?

Patient's question:

Why does it suddenly reappear now that I have sudden all-over swelling and peeling on the soles of my feet? I want to know why? Is it a bad sign?

Doctor's answer:

Do a CT scan, gastroscopy, and tests for liver and kidney function as well as blood routine to check for symptoms of ascites, portal hypertension, splenomegaly, and hypersplenism. If there is a significant amount of ascites, oral diuretic medication can be administered for treatment. If accompanied by portal hypertension, splenomegaly, hypersplenism, and esophageal-gastric varices, surgical treatment is necessary. In addition to standard treatment for liver cirrhosis, patients need to pay attention to nursing care, such as proper diet and maintaining a positive mood. At the same time, patients should also seek diagnosis at a reputable hospital to ensure good treatment outcomes.
