my mom has ascites and she is 74 years old, what other options of treatment are there to keep the fluid from coming back. She has drained 3 liters of fluid off twice. she doesn't want to go through that procedure again because of the pain. when the weather changes she can feel where she was stuck to remove the fluid. they are also saying that she has a tumor on her ovaries and think it is some form of cancer. she refuses biopsy because she is too weak. she has no pain other than where she was stuck by the needle to drain the ascites.
