Why do I have severe abdomen pain around my navel along with retaining fluid?
Patient: paracentesis/liverSince my paracentesis from abdomen which three & one half liters of fluid was removed along with the radiologist still leaving two other pockets of fluid in abdomen & now I am experiencing severe abdomen pain around my naval along with retaining fluid again... I don't currently have medical insurance so my care and/or treatment isn't quite up to par either... What shouls I do now? Doctor: HI. Once the fluid is removed , the sensitive peritoneal layer is exposed and so becomes painful around the naval area as this is the first to be emptied. The most important part is why are you having so much of fluid into the abdomen. IS it liver cirrhosis or something else. The basic cause has to be diagnosed and treated.
