Conception after laparoscopy for removal of ascites. ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on origin: Ascites, or accumulation of fluid in peritoneal cavity due to many causes. If it is malignant ascites due to ovarian Ca spread to omentum then conception unattainable. If due to chylous ascites then once fluid is drained as with other causes that are benign conception can occur within several weeks. If due infection such as TB periotonitis, one must clear up infection prior to pregnancy.
