Can ascites caused by tuberculous peritonitis be cured?
In general, whether ascites caused by tuberculous peritonitis can be cured depends on the specific treatment situation. Most patients can be effectively cured with active treatment; however, a small number of patients may have more severe conditions. If any discomfort occurs, prompt medical attention is recommended. The detailed analysis is as follows:
If ascites due to tuberculous peritonitis is detected early and promptly treated with standardized anti-tuberculosis therapy, patients generally have a high cure rate. However, if the condition is not diagnosed until the advanced stage, extensive peritoneal adhesions, intestinal obstruction, and other complications may have already developed, increasing treatment difficulty and reducing the likelihood of cure.
To avoid unnecessary harm to the body, it is recommended that medications such as rifampicin capsules, isoniazid tablets, and ethambutol hydrochloride tablets be used under the guidance of a qualified physician. In daily life, it is important to maintain healthy habits, follow a light diet, and keep a regular sleep schedule.
