Brief Answer:
Not painful with appropriate pain medications!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this query.

This is nothing more than a prick by the needle and with pain medications, all will be easily controlled. I will advice that the doctors give you a good pain medication 30-45mins before using the needle for fluid removal so that you will not experience pains.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
