Ascites of liver cirrhosis is one of the serious complications of liver cirrhosis, which belongs to the category of "bulging" disease in Chinese medicine, and is one of the four major difficult diseases in Chinese medicine, namely, "wind, consumption, dropsy and diaphragm". At present, modern medicine has a single treatment measure for this disease, and the condition is easy to repeat, with poor prognosis and low quality of life of patients. In this paper, the research progress of Chinese medicine treatment of cirrhosis ascites in recent years is summarised by systematically collating and summarising the relevant literature on Chinese medicine treatment of cirrhosis ascites in recent years, and the research progress of Chinese medicine treatment of cirrhosis ascites in recent years is reviewed in terms of the etiology and pathogenesis of cirrhosis ascites, Chinese medicine internal treatment, Chinese medicine external treatment, and ethnic minority characteristic treatment, so as to provide reference for the subsequent modern clinical treatment of cirrhosis ascites in Chinese medicine.
