My Brother Has Cirrhosis And Needs To Have Parathentesis Procedures

My brother has cirrhosis and needs to have parathentesis procedures performed anywhere from 2-21/2 weeks. The problem is the doctor tends to not order the procedure until he is so uncomfortable and in so much pain. Is there a certain schedule one can go by?
