What is Ascites?

The medical name for a build up of fluid in the abdomen is ascites.

The abdomen contains many organs, including the stomach, bowels, pancreas, liver, spleen and kidneys.

There is a sheet of tissue around these organs. It is made up of 2 layers. One layer lines the wall of the abdomen. The other covers the organs.

Sometimes fluid builds up between the 2 layers, which makes the abdomen swell. This can be very uncomfortable.

The causes of ascites
Cancers that can cause ascites include:
• ovarian cancer
• breast cancer
• bowel cancer
• stomach cancer
• pancreatic cancer
• mesothelioma in the peritoneum
• lung cancer
• liver cancer
• womb cancer

Fluid can build up when:
• cancer cells irritate the lining of the abdomen and make it produce too much fluid
• lymph glands in the abdomen get blocked and can’t drain fluid properly
• cancer has spread to the liver and raises the pressure in nearby blood vessels, which forces fluid out
• the liver can’t make enough blood proteins so fluid leaks out of veins into the abdominal cavity
Other conditions that can cause fluid in the abdomen include:
• liver disease
• heart disease

What are the symptoms of ascites?
The fluid causes swelling that can make the tummy feel tight and very uncomfortable. It often develops over a few weeks but might happen over a few days.
The fluid causes pressure on other organs in the abdominal area and may lead to:

• bloating
• abdominal pain
• back pain
• difficulty sitting comfortably and moving around
• loss of appetite
• indigestion
• constipation
• needing to pass urine often
• breathlessnes
• tiredness and weakness
