I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer 4 months ago and a pigtail catheter was inserted into my abdomen by a interventional radiologist under anesthesia. My husband drains the accites at home. I'm on to my 4th chemo therapy and the accites has greatly reduced. Before chemo 8 litres of accites was usually drained every two to three weeks. Now its 1 litre every 3 weeks. Also my blood pressure is monitored at home during drainage as once it starts to go low the drainage is stopped.
God will heal you I'm glad My sister has just been diagnosed with adenocarcinoma stage 3 on 15th December 2023 she's developed ASCITES 3 days later now we haven't started the treatment u're story has given me much hope I'll pass to her as we fight together
Hi, really hoping someone picks this up. I’m a staff nurse in gynaecology and often deal with ovarian cancer we and ascites drainage, I’d be interested in reading the research that Dr Roshan Agarwal produced, we have a 500ml/hr clamp and release protocol and would like to understand more about how the procedure is managed following the research and if this is criteria led in terms of main streaming patients who are suitable for faster drainage etc. Many thanks
I am suffering with ascites wake up with terrible heartburn. Gone through half bottle of gaviscon. Any help. I have had 2 drains. Wish there was a more comfortable way to remove fluid.

I just found this video, thank you. Hopefully I can get some guidance. My current doctors here are not helpful in the least.
