Ascitans
Ascites is when your belly fills up with too much fluid. It's like an invisible water balloon inside your tummy! It happens because your liver or kidneys are not working properly, or because you have too much salt in your body.
This can cause your tummy to look swollen and feel uncomfortable or heavy. Sometimes, you might even have trouble breathing or eating because of how big your tummy is.
Doctors can help you feel better by giving you medicine to get rid of the extra fluid, or by draining the fluid with a special needle or tube. They might also need to treat the underlying cause of your ascites, so it doesn't happen again. With good care, you can feel much better and enjoy playing and doing other fun things again!
