Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this excessive fluid that you have in your stomach. this would need to be followed up with a more detailed exam to establish the origin of this fluid. It could be caused by infections or elevated procedures in the system that cause fluid to be forced into the abdomen. I will suggest that you follow up with your primary doctor to get this looeed into. You wold most likely require an ultrasound to measure the pressure in the blood vessels and investigations into possible liver and kidney infections.

I hope this addresses your query fully. Thank you so much for patronizing our services and please do feel free to ask for follow up clarifications and information if need be. I wish you the best of health.
