Patient's question:
At first, I just thought it was abdominal pain and didn't pay much attention. Later, I felt my liver was swollen and seemed to have some fluid, so I had a thorough examination and was diagnosed with ascites. Based on the doctor's advice, I have started treatment. What are the precautions for ascites?Doctor's answer:
Ascites, on the other hand, is caused by hepatitis B cirrhosis on one hand, and by other reasons on the other hand. First, it is necessary to identify the cause of the ascites. Check the hepatitis B five-item test and abdominal ultrasound to clarify the cause. After identifying the cause, additional medication should be administered. In daily life, it is important to pay attention to the intake of water and salt, as salt and water can worsen the symptoms of ascites in patients. Rest and avoid catching a cold are also important.
