Pubic synthesis

Posted , 3 users are following.

Recently my son was diagnosed with a condition called pubic synthesis. At first we thought he had a bad groin strain or a sports hernia. 2 years later we finally get an Mri and find out its Pubic Synthesis. Is anyone out there familiar with this condition and if so, what are the best treatment options?

    I think you may mean pubic symphysis. More specifically pubic symphysis dysfunction. The public symphysis is a cartilage that sits between the left and right pubic bones and diagnosis of dysfunction indicates it is misaligned. It's most common with pregnant women but quite unusual in young males. Stabilisation exercises are the recommended action to help. Pain relief meds may also be necessary
