What are the treatments for ascites?

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 at night, I always feel a sharp pain in my stomach. I went to a nearby hospital for a check-up and was told it's liver disease. They advised me to get injections. Could you please tell me what are the treatments for ascites?

Doctor's answer:

Recurrent ascites is the most common complication of cirrhosis and is difficult to treat. If the ascites is significant, it can generally be treated by aspiration. During daily life, it is important to visit the hospital regularly for examinations such as liver ultrasound and CT scans to assess the specific condition. If liver function is impaired, liver-protecting medications can be used for treatment.
