  3. Indications for Paracentisis Paracentesis is recommended for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes: • Diagnostic: To analyze the ascitic fluid for the presence of infection, cancer cells, or other abnormalities. This helps in diagnosing the underlying cause of ascites. • Therapeutic: To relieve symptoms such as abdominal pain, discomfort, breathlessness, and nausea caused by the accumulated fluid. In severe cases, paracentesis can also be used to prevent complications like spontaneous bacterial peritonitis.

The amount of fluid drained depends on your individual condition and symptoms. • 6.Monitoring: Throughout the procedure, your vital signs and overall well-being are closely monitored. • 7.Recovery: After the procedure, you will be observed for a while to ensure there are no complications.
