Doctor's answer:

Ascites is not completely incurable. Finding the right hospital and choosing the correct treatment method are the keys to self-healing ascites. To prevent the formation of ascites, human albumin infusion is generally used. If ascites has already formed, two methods are employed: drug-induced drainage and surgical drainage, with drug-induced drainage being the most widely used. If conditions permit, medication can be taken for treatment, which has the dual effects of draining excess fluid, reducing swelling, expelling dampness, strengthening the spleen, dispelling pathogens, and supporting the body's. This can rapidly drain ascites while ensuring no secondary damage to the liver.
