Hi and welcome to Healthcare magic.Thank you for the query.
you need an urologist ,but just need to know that ascites can cause testicle swelling if there is communication between abdominal cavity and scrotum. this can be seen if there is ingunla hernia or varicocele. You should treat liver at the same time and repeat ascites drainage as long as necessary.
Wish you good health. Regards
