Which of the following is a common symptom of Meigs Syndrome?

  1. Joint pain

  2. Shortness of breath

  3. Ascites

  4. Visual disturbances

The correct answer is: Ascites

Meigs Syndrome is a rare condition characterized by the presence of a benign ovarian tumor, or fibroma, and the build-up of fluid in the abdomen, known as ascites. This excess fluid can cause abdominal swelling and discomfort. Joint pain, shortness of breath, and visual disturbances are not common symptoms of Meigs Syndrome and could be indicative of other conditions. It is important to consult with a medical professional for an accurate diagnosis and treatment.
