Can ascites from liver damage be intermittent?
My husband has what appears to be ascites and is seeing a doc tomorrow. We know he has liver damage and pancreatitis but don’t know to what extent the damage is. I beleive he has ascites because his stomach has been round and hard for a long time now and he gets shortness of breath. But he says his stomach size and shortness of breath sometimes gets better…and then worse…and then better. From what I have read, ascities usually just gets worse and doesn’t improve without medical help or dietary change. Any thoughts?
