Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Shen Yonghua
Liver ascites can be treated with medications or surgical interventions. Under a doctor's guidance, patients may take drugs such as furosemide. Surgical treatment involves paracentesis to remove accumulated fluid from the abdomen. However, the appearance of ascites indicates that the disease has progressed to a certain stage. When liver disease reaches an advanced phase, ascites may recur after surgery, meaning the procedure only provides temporary relief and cannot achieve a complete cure.
