A member asked:
My dad has been diagnosed with bile duct cancer. he has severe swelling of legs. he has been put on diuretics. how long for this fluid to go?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: he will need to follow up with his doctor to decide whether he still needs to be on diuretics. You do not want to take too much diuretic as that may cause problem to his kidney .
