Patient's question:
Sick for over 20 days, after hospital treatment, I can already walk on the ground. Bowel movements have almost returned to normal, but still need catheterization. Can optic neuritis and spinal cord inflammation be completely cured?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if you can control urination yourself with neuromyelitis optica, you may not need to catheterize and retain the urinary tube. After standard treatment in the hospital, the vast majority of patients have a varying degree of complete recovery, while a very small number of patients may have varying degrees of disability. Daily treatment is mainly symptomatic treatment. Patients can take some oral medications, combined with some vitamins, and should avoid excessive tension and pay attention to rest.
