hospital in rural India

C
hronic pelvic pain is a very common pain especially in
women due to amultitude of factors. In a country like
India, because of the prevalence of age old traditions and
gender bias, the sufferers come to the care givers at a
late stage. Themanagement then becomes quite difficult
and tasking. In our study, we evaluated 65 cases, where
the patients were suffering from cancers of the cervix
and lower gut with intractable pain. After going through
the history, physical examination and the required
investigations, we performed superior hypogastric plexus
block with absolute alcohol, after a successful block with
steroids and local anesthetics. The study was done to
relieve the pain and to improve the quality of life in those
patients in whom surgery was not feasible or who were
unable to afford surgery for various reasons. The study
was followed up for duration of six months thereafter.
