How is ascites treated in patients with liver cirrhosis?

Patient's question:

I am 38 years old and recently feel that my liver is very tired. I haven't had a good appetite and have been feeling stomach pain at night. I went to a nearby hospital for a check-up and was told it was liver disease. They asked me to get injections. How should patients with ascites be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, ascites is generally caused by advanced liver cirrhosis. Liver cirrhosis can cause significant harm to a person's health, so it is recommended to be hospitalized immediately for treatment. It is best to seek treatment in a Grade III-A hospital with relatively good medical conditions. If there is a large amount of ascites, a certain amount of fluid is usually drained to alleviate the patient's discomfort symptoms and reduce lower limb edema.
