HYPOGASTRIC PLEXUS NEUROLYSIS
Understanding Hypogastric Plexus Neurolysis for Cancer Pain Relief
Are you or a loved one experiencing persistent pain in the lower abdomen or pelvis due to cancer? At Red Butte Pain Solutions, we understand how this pain can affect every part of your life. That’s why we offer a specialized treatment called hypogastric plexus neurolysis—a procedure that can significantly reduce pain in these areas.
What is Hypogastric Plexus Neurolysis?
The hypogastric plexus is a group of nerves located in the lower part of your abdomen. These nerves are responsible for carrying pain signals from your pelvic organs to your brain. Hypogastric plexus neurolysis is a procedure that interrupts these pain signals, providing relief from the discomfort caused by cancer.
How Does It Work?
During the procedure, a pain management specialist uses imaging guidance to inject a medication into the area around the hypogastric plexus. This medication destroys the nerves that are transmitting the pain signals, effectively reducing or even eliminating the pain.
Is It Safe?
Studies have shown that hypogastric plexus neurolysis is an effective and safe procedure for managing cancer-related pelvic pain. It can provide significant pain relief without the need for increasing doses of pain medication, which can often have unwanted side effects.
Who Can Benefit?
This treatment is particularly beneficial for patients who have not found relief from traditional pain medications or who experience severe side effects from those medications. It’s a compassionate option for those seeking comfort during a challenging time.
