His family also didn’t give any information regarding his health problems. However, sources close to him shared that he has been dealing with diabetes, thyroid issues, and liver disease for a long time. They mentioned that due to worsening diabetes, he had to have some of his right toes removed at MIOT Hospital in 2022. The thyroid problem affected his speech, and he got separate treatment for it. Alongside these issues, he also had problems with urination.
While the spinal cord problem was already there, at the same time, due to an excessive thyroid problem, the nerves connected to the neck were affected. This led to memory loss, and he couldn’t sit for even half an hour. Because of this, no friends were allowed to see him for the past few months. Vijayakanth was admitted to MIOT Hospital for fever and chills and was expected to return home as usual in a couple of days. However, he was having trouble breathing and was receiving continuous treatment.
As the rain continued to fall, the seasonal conditions hindered his quick recovery. There was a belief that if he could breathe naturally despite receiving artificial respiration, his health would improve. While the doctors worked towards that goal, the speedy recovery of Vijayakanth was the fervent prayer of his fans and party workers.
