What is the reason for ascites without defecation?

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 the nearby hospital for a check-up and was told it's a liver disease. They asked me to get an injection. Could you please tell me what the reason is for ascites without defecation?

Doctor's answer:

If there are problems with the liver, especially if the test results show hepatitis B virus infection, antiviral medication should be used to control it. As long as the pathogen is not replicating and is not causing harm to the liver, it is not a major issue. If ascites reappears in the liver, it may indicate the presence of liver cirrhosis. If it is difficult to defecate, lactulose or Siquan tang can be used to enhance gastrointestinal motility and increase the acidic environment in the intestines.
