Ascites: Ascites may be due to several causes including liver problems, such as hepatitis, cirrhosis of liver etc. If you do have these problems you can be treated with diuretics or paracentesis. The last resort is liver transplant.

Diuretic, drainage: Careful use of drugs to remove fluid from the body (usually diuretic such as spironolactone) helps mild cases, and if severe inserting a catheter though the skin into the abdominal cavity to drain fluid can relieve symptoms. Your best relief is if the liver dissease can be reversed or improved.
