Ascites

Ascites

Ascites is a condition in which fluid accumulates in the abdominal cavity. It is most commonly caused by cirrhosis of the liver, but can also be caused by other conditions, such as cancer or heart failure. The symptoms of ascites can include abdominal swelling, abdominal pain, shortness of breath, and weight gain. The amount of fluid in the abdominal cavity is usually measured using an ultrasound or CT scan. The fluid is usually examined in a laboratory to determine the cause of the ascites. In some cases, ascites may be treated with diuretics, which help reduce the amount of fluid in the abdominal cavity. In other cases, a procedure called a paracentesis may be performed to remove the fluid. In cases of cirrhosis, a liver transplant may be necessary to treat the underlying condition. In addition to medical treatments, lifestyle changes can help reduce the risk of developing ascites. These changes include avoiding alcohol, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, and eating a balanced diet. It is also important to talk to your doctor about any medications you are taking that may contribute to the development of ascites. Ascites is a serious condition that can lead to complications if left untreated. It is important to be aware of the signs and symptoms of ascites and to talk to your doctor if you have any concerns. With proper diagnosis and treatment, ascites can be successfully managed.
