It is possible to live for several years or even longer. There is no direct correlation between abdominal fluid and the survival of the patient, and how long a patient with abdominal fluid can live depends mainly on the severity of the primary disease and the effectiveness of treatment. The specific situation depends on the cause of the fluid in the abdominal cavity, as well as the effect of treatment and regression of the disease. 1. The most common cause of peritoneal effusion is cirrhosis resulting in ascites, which can be completely controlled through diuresis, hepatoprotective drug therapy or surgical treatment. After the relief of portal hypertension, the cause of cirrhosis can be further examined and controlled, and the development of cirrhosis can be controlled in order to achieve the purpose of long-term control and make patients survive for a long period of time. 2. For example, rupture of the liver and spleen caused by trauma and large amount of blood accumulation in the abdominal cavity also belongs to abdominal effusion. With surgery to repair or remove the rupture of the liver or spleen, the patient can live and study as normal after the surgery. 3. If the accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity is related to cardiac or renal insufficiency, the ascites may disappear completely after adjusting the cardiac and renal functions. 4. Sometimes ascites is caused by tumor diseases, such as stomach cancer, liver cancer and other advanced tumors, most of the patients will be accompanied by ascites, which is closely related to the tumor itself and low protein. It is recommended to actively find out the cause of ascites, diagnose the cause of the disease and carry out effective treatment and intervention to improve the survival time of patients, and follow up and review regularly.
