The cause of this disease is complex, Chinese medicine believes that the main causes of this disease are uncontrolled drinking and eating, insect venomous infection, secondary to other diseases, emotional stimulation, and so on. 1. Drinking and eating uncontrollably: Excessive drinking in general, or partiality to sweet and thick flavors, leading to the growth of dampness and turbidity, stagnation of the middle jiao, unfavorable qi, not only make the spleen and stomach transporting and transforming the function of water and grains and essence is dysfunctional, but also affects the liver’s function of detoxification, resulting in stagnation of qi and blood stasis, and the dampness and qi and blood stagnation for a long time, which forms the tympanic distension. 2. Insect infection: mostly due to contact with infected water, infected with schistosomiasis, insect venom blocking the meridians and tunnels, and not treated in time, resulting in injury to the liver and spleen, it is easy to form the zhengjiu (abdominal lumps, or bloating or pain) or stagnant stagnation and stasis blocking the meridians and channels, the stagnation of water and liquids, which triggers the bulging and distention. 3. secondary to other diseases: where other diseases damage the liver and spleen, resulting in liver and spleen disorders, water-dampness accumulation, the possibility of secondary distention. Common such as jaundice, accumulation, etc.. 4. Emotional stimulation: long-term worry and anger will lead to damage to the liver and spleen, so that the liver can not be normal excretion, the spleen can not be normal transportation of water and grain essence, resulting in stagnation of qi and blood, water and dampness within the stagnation of water and dampness (water and dampness stays in the body). Qi, blood and water are intertwined, and over time, they do not dissolve and become bulging. If the patient has liver ascites, should go to the regular hospital, early clear cause, standardized treatment under the guidance of professional doctors, in order to reduce the adverse effects of the disease.
