Ascites often develops as a result of chronic liver conditions, but with the right approach, it can be managed effectively. The purpose of ascites treatment is not only to ease discomfort but also to improve liver health and reduce the risk of further complications.
Lifestyle choices form the foundation of management. Patients are advised to avoid alcohol, reduce salt intake, maintain a healthy weight, and follow a balanced diet. Alongside these changes, diuretics are commonly prescribed to reduce fluid buildup in the body. For those with severe fluid accumulation, paracentesis offers immediate relief by safely draining excess fluid. In advanced cases of liver disease, surgery or liver transplantation may become necessary.
Untreated ascites can lead to dangerous complications such as kidney damage, hernias, or severe infections. This underlines the importance of seeking help from experienced specialists.
