Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Your doctor can put a small tube into the abdomen to drain off the fluid. This reduces the swelling and makes you feel more comfortable. It’s called abdominal paracentesis (pronounced para-sen-tee-sis) or an ascitic tap (pronounced ass-it-ic tap). Draining the fluid relieves symptoms in 90 out of 100 people (90%).
Detailed explanation-2: -A possible treatment option could be the placement of a continuous tunneled catheter. Patients are then instructed to manage these catheter systems at home by means of removing ascites on a daily schedule or every time when discomfort occurs.
