Understanding Ascites: Identifying Symptoms and Seeking Early Treatment

Pace Hospitals

Listen to

Ascites refers to the abnormal accumulation of fluid in the peritoneal cavity, which is the space within the abdomen that houses the intestines, liver, and other organs. While the body naturally produces a small amount of fluid in this area to lubricate the organs, ascites occur when there is an excess buildup, leading to swelling and discomfort. In an episode of the ascites podcast, we will break down the causes, symptoms, and treatment options in a way that's easy to understand and discuss the impact it can have on daily life.


Join the PACE Hospitals Podcast with Dr R Venkatesh Reddy, a Consultant Gastroenterologist and Hepatologist at PACE Hospitals, Hitech City, Hyderabad, India, to explore ascites, how it develops, and what it means for those affected by it.
