In such an advanced case, you probably require surgery. It cannot be managed with medical methods alone. Does your father suffer from any other illnesses like Diabetes, Hypertension. These need to be controlled before he can be taken up for Surgery. Contact the Doctors of reputed Hospitals who will be able to help him.
