Doctor, I am so uncomfortable. The "water" full of stomach makes me unable to eat, unable to sit still, lying down, unable to sleep... This is a description of a cancer patient. He was a gastrointestinal tumor, which recurred after surgery and developed severe ascites .
Malignant ascites is caused by various malignant tumors. It has the characteristics of stubbornness, large quantity, and recurrence, which seriously affects the patient's quality of life, such as loss of appetite, inconvenience, restlessness, abdominal discomfort, and poor breathing.
