What To Do For Mild Fluid (ascities) In Upper Abdomen?
I went through whole abdomen ultrasonography and the result showed mild fluid (ascites) in upper abdomen which is causing stomach discomfort. Please suggest what to do. I consulted a general physician and he said nothing to worry it will be cured automatically and did not prescribed any medicine. Please advise

Hi,
Mild ascites may be due to inflammation of peritoneum may be seen in viral fever or anemia or cholecystitis and hepatitis etc.
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.
Please consult your physician/gastroenterologist if necessary they may aspirate the fluid and send for analysis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
