What is Ascites Tapping?
Ascites tapping, also known as paracentesis, is a procedure used to remove excess fluid that accumulates in the abdomen. This fluid buildup, often referred to as ascites, can be caused by various conditions such as liver cirrhosis, heart failure, and certain cancers.

At Sharma Clinic, our experienced medical professionals perform ascites tapping in a safe and controlled environment. The procedure involves:
- Preparation: You will be asked to lie on your side or back. Your abdomen will be cleaned with an antiseptic solution.
- Insertion of Needle: A thin needle is inserted into your abdomen, guided by ultrasound imaging to ensure accuracy.
- Fluid Removal: The excess fluid is slowly drained into a collection bag. The amount of fluid removed will depend on your specific condition and the severity of your ascites.
- Monitoring: Your vital signs will be monitored throughout the procedure to ensure your safety.
