Foot pressure test

The foot pressure test is an auxiliary diagnosis method to check whether the patient has abnormal symptoms through the foot pressure test. The main method is to lie on the patient in a supine position with a hard ruler on the abdominal wall. The pulsation of the abdominal aorta can be transmitted to the hard ruler through the cyst, causing the ruler to beat rhythmically; if it is ascites, the pressure ruler does not beat. It is mainly used to distinguish the two symptoms of ovarian cysts and ascites.
