Ascites is the accumulation of fluid in the abdomen, commonly seen in patients with cirrhosis or advanced liver disease. In Mumbai, proper ascites management involves identifying the root cause and relieving discomfort while protecting long-term liver health.
Doctors use ultrasound, paracentesis, and non-invasive tests to monitor fluid buildup and liver condition. Treatment typically includes dietary modifications like reduced salt intake, medications (diuretics), and sometimes procedures to remove excess fluid. Addressing the underlying condition,such as cirrhosis, hepatitis, or fibrosis,is crucial for preventing recurrence.
Ignoring ascites can lead to serious complications, including infections and kidney dysfunction. Early medical attention ensures better symptom control and improved quality of life.
