9. Prognosis of Meralgia Paresthetica
Many cases of meralgia paresthetica resolve on their own or when addressed with conservative measures within two months of diagnosis. Lifestyle changes such as stopping activities that cause pressure on the nerve or temporarily changing the fit of the patient's clothing may help.
Maintaining a healthy weight is important, as is limiting diabetic nerve injury by paying close attention to blood sugar levels. A pregnant woman who's experiencing symptoms of meralgia paresthetica may experience relief after delivery.
