Patient's question:
To a hospital in the town for a thorough examination, the result was multiple sclerosis. The symptoms of the illness include severe headaches, nausea, and dry heaves. At the hospital in the town, hormone shock treatment was used. Now that the headaches have stopped, I'm always feeling dizzy. The doctor said that in the future, the medication will be used to control it to prevent relapses.How many times have you had this; can this disease be completely cured? What is the best way to treat it? How can it be prevented from relapsing? How is multiple sclerosis treated in the elderly?
Doctor's answer:
Multiple sclerosis originates from demyelinating diseases. Multiple sclerosis is a delayed multifocal cerebral edema lesion caused by damaged nerves due to prolonged brain edema. The most common cause of its onset is viral or inflammatory infectious diseases, leading to the dysfunction of vegetative nerve function in the lateral horns of the spinal cord, as well as secondary motor neuron dysfunction. Early hormone and drug therapies help control the inflammation, but due to incomplete or disordered recovery of vegetative nerve function, the human immune system is forced to overcompensate, resulting in the exacerbation of the disease. Moreover, the condition becomes increasingly severe with each episode.
