Patient's question:
I am 38 years old. Recently, I feel that my liver is very tired. I haven't had a good appetite, and at night, I always feel a sharp pain in my stomach. I went to the nearby hospital for a check-up and was told it was liver disease. They advised me to get an injection. Could you please tell me what are the causes of ascites?Doctor's answer:
The patient has ascites, which is primarily considered to be caused by factors such as viral hepatitis, cirrhosis, liver tumors, hepatic vein obstruction syndrome, or portal vein thrombosis. Currently, it is necessary to extract the ascites for laboratory testing to make a diagnosis based on the results. At this time, it is essential to rest and maintain a positive mindset. The diet should be based on light foods, avoiding the intake of stimulating and greasy foods.
