How Do I Confirm If I Have Ascites And Need Paracentesis?
Should I go to the emergency room if I think I have ascides and need parascentises? I know this is misspelled but am not sure about correct spelling. I have been bloated for over a week I had a tiips done in 2008 and haven t needed one since my gastro can t see me for another week.
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.
