Ascites is one of the serious complications of decompensated liver cirrhosis, and its five-year sur-vival rate is only 56%, which seriously threatens the life and health of patients. Western medicine treatment is monotonous and usually has large side effects. TCM treatment methods are more di-versified and individualized, which can be more effective than Western medicine in improving symptoms and reducing suffering. This paper discusses the research progress in the treatment of ascites in liver cirrhosis from the aspects of internal and external treatment of traditional Chinese medicine.
