Patient's question:
I feel very bloated, my thighs are a bit swollen, and sometimes I have the sensation of dry heaving. I've seen a doctor a few times, and they said it's ascites of the liver. I've been taking the medicine prescribed by the doctor, and it's getting a bit better. Now I want to take some of the medicine myself and want to ask what medications are used to treat liver ascites?Doctor's answer:
Patients with cirrhosis should pay attention to digesting amino acids and albumin. It is recommended to try traditional Chinese medicine as much as possible. Prevention is key to increasing complications and avoiding colds or exposure to cold. It is suggested to use traditional Chinese medicine to drain ascites. While draining ascites quickly, it will never cause secondary damage to your liver. The daily treatment for patients with hepatic ascites mainly focuses on symptomatic treatment. Patients can take some oral medications, supplement with vitamins, and pay attention to self-care, proper diet, and avoid cold foods.
