Ascites – Causes, Symptoms & Ayurvedic Treatment
What is Ascites?
Ascites is a medical condition in which fluid accumulates in the abdominal cavity (the space between the abdominal wall and internal organs). It most commonly occurs as a complication of advanced liver disease, especially liver cirrhosis. However, it can also develop due to heart failure, kidney disease, infections, or certain cancers.
The buildup of fluid causes abdominal swelling, discomfort, and breathing difficulty in severe cases. Proper diagnosis and timely treatment are very important to prevent serious complications.
