What Is Transverse Myelitis?
5. Transverse Myelitis Complications
Transverse myelitis can result in a few complications. Though most people have only a single episode, the condition’s complications can last for months. Debilitating pain often lingers for long after the first symptoms appear. Muscle stiffness and spasms are also common.
Another lasting physical complication is sexual dysfunction, which affects both men and women. Long-term conditions like transverse myelitis frequently lead to depression and anxiety due to chronic pain, loss of quality of life and the subsequent changes in lifestyle.
