Patient's question:
Can post-polio syndrome be treated? I contracted this disease when I had a fever at the age of 8 and had surgery once, but the results were not ideal. I would like to receive treatment from your hospital. Can it be cured completely? Is my inability to straighten my hand caused by this disease?Doctor's answer:
Problem Analysis: Hello! It cannot be said that the sequelae of polio can be cured? Only long-term rehabilitation can alleviate it. You cannot say that it has been completely cured.Suggestions: It is necessary to understand the patient's age and their willingness. There will be some improvement in long-term adherence to treatment. In short, it cannot be completely cured. It can be maximally restored. I hope this helps. What you mentioned above is the current medical level. Currently, there is no way to treat it. My suggestion for what I cannot treat: Function can be exercised, surgery, and efforts can be made to restore as much as possible, because local ganglial necrosis has not yet led to major breakthroughs in medical technology.
