Patient's question:
Last week, I started experiencing the recurrence of edema, and it also feels a bit painful. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and found that it was accompanied by ascites. Currently, I am in the treatment phase. So, what are the precautions for doctors regarding ascites?Doctor's answer:
Regarding the recurrence of ascites in the liver or even the reappearance of edema in the lower limbs, the possibility of electrolyte disorders cannot be ruled out. According to the doctor's advice, local aspiration or minimally invasive procedures can be considered, including local drainage, among others. In daily life, it is necessary to pay attention to restricting water and salt intake, as well as following a high-quality, low-protein diet, which should be integrated with clinical diagnosis.
