Hello dear,
Welcome to HCM.
I have read your query and understood your concern.

If you feel like having ascites, you can go to your doctor. If fluid is moderate to severe , it can be evaluated by simple per abdominal examination. Paracentesis may not be required.

As per details, i will advice you to visit the doctor in person and get the examination done.

good luck.
