Ascites: The way you have written your question it seems a needle was put through your skin into your abdominal cavity. The kind of fluid found this way comes from the normal passage of fluid through the abdominal drainage system being blocked. The pathology of this fluid will give you an idea of what it's cause is and what organs in the body might be involved in it's formation process.
