the fluid from peritoneum can be removed by a technique peritoneocentesis. Just make an appointment with a GI doctor and get admitted to a hospital. He will do the rest.

Ascites (peritoneal fluid) is removed by paracentesis. Sometimes ultrasound is used to find a pocket of fluid within the abdomen. Other times the abdomen is so enlarged from fluid that there really is no need to do so. Lidocaine is used to numb the skin, then a needle is inserted into the abdomen to remove the fluid. Several liters of fluid can be removed. Usually, patients feel much more comfortable after the procedure, because a sense of pressure from the excess fluid has been relieved.
