The stomach of hepatic ascites may be hard or soft. Generally, the stomach is soft when the amount of ascites is relatively small and no ascites infection occurs, and the stomach is generally hard when the amount of ascites is large or combined with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis. 1. When cirrhosis is accompanied by only a small amount of ascites and there is no ascites infection, the stomach is generally soft. 2. When cirrhosis is accompanied by a large amount of ascites, the stomach will be hard because of the increased volume and bulging of the abdomen and the greater tension of abdominal distension; in addition, if cirrhosis is combined with ascites infection, resulting in spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, there may be obvious abdominal pain, fever, and there is pressure, rebound pain and muscle tension on palpation, and the stomach will be hard when there is muscle tension. Cirrhosis patients should go to the hospital and be treated under the guidance of the doctor.
