City hospital treats man with year-long severe pelvic pain

A 36-year-old Sri Lankan man suffering from severe burning pelvic pain for nearly a year underwent a minimally invasive procedure at Dr. Mehta’s Hospitals in Chetpet.

The patient, who had been on medication for several months without adequate relief, was referred to Premkumar M., head of anaesthesia and senior interventional pain management specialist at the hospital, a press release said. An evaluation found that he had significant nerve damage in the pelvic region following transverse myelitis, a rare inflammatory condition affecting the spinal cord.
