Patient's question:
I am 38 years old and have recently been feeling 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 was liver disease. They advised me to get injections. How can I get rid of ascites?Doctor's answer:
The patient has ascites and the label should indicate viral hepatitis, cirrhosis, or liver tumors as the cause. It should also not rule out hepatic vein obstruction syndrome or portal vein thrombosis. Currently, the goal is to identify the underlying cause of the condition and treat accordingly. It is necessary to drain the ascites and consume a diet high in protein. Daily diet should be light and simple, avoiding irritating or greasy foods.
