Patient's question:
I am 38 years old. Recently, I feel that my liver is very tired. I haven't had much appetite, and at night, I always feel a sharp pain in my stomach. I went to the nearby hospital for a check-up, and they said it was liver disease. They told me to get an injection. What should I do if I have ascites?Doctor's answer:
The recurrence of ascites is primarily caused by low liver function. Due to this, it is necessary to identify the cause of the recurrence of ascites. Most cases are said to be caused by ascites resulting from cirrhosis. In terms of treatment, it is necessary to protect the liver and reduce enzymes while supplementing albumin. When necessary, diuretic drugs should be used. Additionally, abdominal puncture drainage may also be required.
