Can you tell ascites from a bladder infection?

I know you guys cant diagnose me, but I am just curious if any of you have experienced ascites tenderness and swelling right above the pubic bone? seems like bladder or uterus area. (I have no ovaries)

I am experiencing this, some liver pain/fullness, and pain on the very lower right of my abdomen. And These days I dont typically feel that so that has my attention.

I had a urinalysis and culture done last week and showed no infection. But that was after a night of lots of cranberry tablets and water.

I felt a lot better, but now I am swollen and hurting again. Tried all over at a time in my medicine cycle where I should feel better.

cranberry also works as a diuretic so I have started to worry that this is ascites instead of urinary related. and maybe I just eased my symptoms with the cranberry.

cranberry can help flush you out, and inhibit new infections, but I don't think it kills a current one.

I am on Ibrance and letrezole. Liver mets stage IV. They have been responding great to the meds.

My liver values were normal just a week ago. Feeling paranoid and a bit discouraged. This is supposed to be my good week. But I am not perky at all.

I also worry it is a hernia, but I don’t THINK it would wear me down all over like this.

the only weird thing on my labs was trace ketones.
