Are Memory Problems And Depression While Having Flat Foot Symptoms Of Leukodystropy?

Hello this is Ankita Agarwal from Kolkata, West Bengal, India. It s about my brother Ankit Agarwal, 31 years old. He was born with a flat foot, which according to us was the main reason of his balancing problems due to which he fell and got hurt a many a times. Also we noticed that his foot is not as straight as others. Otherwise physically he is all right. During his school days, we observed that though he used to spend good amount of time in studies, he was not able to score good, still he managed to complete his graduation in Business Management. We showed him to every doctor possible in India through which we came to know the problem is not his legs but his nervous system. Now he is married and has a 3 year old baby girl. Off late, we are noticing that Ankit is having lot of memory problem. Sometimes he is not able to remember things told to him a day before. Moreover, he stays depressed most of times, may be because of the problem he has. The balancing problem persists. Respected Mam/Sir, is this leukodystrophy and whether there is any medication or diagnosis to this. please help. Regards.

Hello,

I think you can continue taking tranik as advised by your doctor. Progesterone pills can be used also to improve bleeding. Yet, these are not definitive treatments. The situation should get evaluated by gynecologist is you need surgery or not.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
