Patient's question:
I am 38 years old. Recently, I feel my liver is very tired. I haven't had much appetite. 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's liver disease. They asked 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 cirrhosis leading to ascites. In terms of treatment, it is necessary to protect the liver and reduce enzymes while also supplementing with albumin. When necessary, diuretic drugs may be used. Additionally, abdominal puncture drainage may also be required.
