In these videos, Dr. Sreelakshmi N, a highly specialized Consultant Neurologist and Epileptologist at S.L. Raheja Hospital (A Fortis Associate), provides a comprehensive overview of how peripheral neuropathy is managed. She holds advanced qualifications, including an MBBS, DNB, and DM in Neurology, along with a Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Epilepsy, bringing over 8 years of clinical expertise to her practice. Dr. Sreelakshmi explains that the diagnostic process begins with a clinical examination, often followed by specialized tests like nerve conduction studies and electromyography to assess nerve integrity. Additionally, blood tests including Vitamin B12 levels, kidney function, and thyroid function are used to pinpoint the underlying cause.
The key to treating neuropathy, according to Dr. Sreelakshmi, is addressing the root cause. This includes managing high blood sugar in diabetic patients, correcting vitamin deficiencies, and treating any underlying systemic illnesses. She also stresses the importance of lifestyle changes, such as avoiding alcohol and harmful drugs that can worsen nerve damage. Her most powerful message is that neuropathy is often reversible if identified early moving from the "whispers" of the nerves to "shouts of pain" making timely intervention critical for long-term health.
