Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
i have been suffering from filariasis for about 20 years to my left leg. despite using medicines the swelling of left foot has not subsisded.I would like to know if there is permanent cure to filariasis at all and if so kindly let me know what it is. I am 50 years old.I am 74 kgs in weight. I dont have any medical problem except a littleB.P. for which I have been using a tablet a day as per my doctor s advice for one year. I am 5.7 tall.
It is a difficult condition to cure. Compression stockings and limb elevation can provide symptomatic relief. In severe cases surgical excision may be required.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
