Answer
Hello. As you describe, your father is suffering from decompensated cirrhosis. Usually, the doctor will not appoint a suction of the abdominal fluid, because the fluid will quickly re-establish and your father's body will lose the fluid rich in protein and minerals.
You should take your father to a medical facility, the doctor will determine your father's condition and will give an appropriate treatment plan.
You can also register for a check-up for your father at a local Vinmec Health System hospital. For your father to experience good quality examination services, by experienced experts and doctors.
Thank you for submitting your question to Vinmec Health System. Wishing your father good health.
