Patient's question:
Uncle has been feeling that his eyesight has been getting worse recently, and the condition is becoming increasingly severe. He also experiences severe headaches, and sometimes his eyes feel like they are trembling. Navigating has also become somewhat difficult. After a thorough examination at the hospital, he was diagnosed with optic neuritis and myelitis. What is the probability of a complete remission from optic neuritis and myelitis?Doctor's answer:
There is a possibility of improvement, but the chance is relatively low. This disease is caused by multiple issues in the autoimmune system. The younger the patient, the higher the likelihood of a complete recovery. If the patient is older, the immunity of various organs in the body is generally lower, which is conducive to a complete recovery. However, there are cases where it can be cured. It is still recommended to go to a formal hospital for a comprehensive and thorough examination, and then implement treatment based on the doctor's advice.
