Ascites is indicated by a swollen abdomen caused by fluid accumulation in the abdominal cavity. Symptoms often include a noticeable increase in abdominal size, discomfort, and sometimes difficulty breathing due to pressure on the diaphragm. A healthcare provider may confirm ascites through physical examination, ultrasound, or other imaging tests, alongside assessing underlying causes such as liver disease or heart failure. Additionally, the presence of shifting dullness or fluid wave on examination can suggest fluid accumulation characteristic of ascites.
