Hi there. Peritoneal effusion is an accumulation of fluid in the peritoneal cavity and the cause is often serious pathology.
You should go to the hospital to find out the cause of the peritoneal effusion so that the doctor can accurately advise the course of the peritoneal effusion and consider whether surgery is needed or not.
Thank you for your question to Vinmec Health System. Best regards.
