Treatment of Chylous Ascites in Ayurveda with Herbal Remedies

Dr Vikram Chauhan19 Sep, 2023Health

Chylous Ascites is a rare form of Ascites. This occurs when the chyle (milky fluid) forms in the intestine during the digestion process and it collects in the peritoneal or retroperitoneal cavity. It occurs when there is a rupture or trauma in the lymphatic system of the body. The chyle is milky in appearance due to the presence of triglyceride in the fluid. As water and fluid accumulate in the peritoneal cavity it leads to ascites. The liver secretes fluid in the body and when it secretes in large amounts the excess fluid is stored in the peritoneal cavity. As a result of chylous ascites various symptoms form and affect the normal functioning of the body.
