Hello Doctor, My Friend s Daughter having Lipomyelomeningocele and undergone surgery before 6 years. now she is at the age of 17. But now the disease get worsening. She is having severe pain and difficult to stand above half an hour and also loose bowel control. My Question is there any treatment to cure the disease or to protect from worsening?
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. In my opinion there is need to evaluate her current situation with an MRI of vertebral column. Treatment is surgical (decompression of nerves), but isn't always 100% effective. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
