Pelvic Pain Vanquished: New Procedure Offers Relief
17 Sep
Summary
- Minimally invasive procedure provided relief for severe pelvic pain.
- Patient suffered nerve damage from a rare spinal cord inflammatory condition.
- Radiofrequency ablation targeted affected nerves, reducing pain signals.
A 36-year-old man from Sri Lanka received significant relief from chronic pelvic pain after undergoing a specialized procedure at Dr. Mehta's Hospitals. The patient had been experiencing severe burning pelvic pain for almost a year, with conventional medications offering little respite.
Evaluations revealed that the man, who previously suffered from transverse myelitis, had sustained considerable nerve damage in the pelvic region. To address this, doctors performed a minimally invasive superior hypogastric plexus and pudendal neurolysis using radiofrequency ablation. This technique targets the affected nerves through small needle punctures, effectively diminishing pain transmission.
The procedure reportedly led to substantial pain reduction for the patient, enabling him to return to his daily activities without the debilitating discomfort he had endured for months.
