What does TCM think about the situation of children with muscular dystrophy?

Muscular dystrophy has no solution in Western medicine, so you can only turn to traditional Chinese medicine.

If a child with muscular dystrophy likes to eat spicy, raw, cold, and frozen foods, then these foods should be stopped.

Secondly, if the child with muscular dystrophy is obese and has a weak spleen and stomach, quit greasy food and eat more foods that nourish the spleen and stomach and are warm. For muscle weakness and meridian stasis, massage and massage several times a day, and it would be better if the muscular dystrophy child could run, let him exercise and run.

At the same time, children with muscular dystrophy can eat more foods that are high in protein, rich in vitamins, calcium, and zinc, such as lean meat, eggs, fish, shrimp, animal liver, pork ribs, fungus, daylily, mushrooms, tofu, and so on.

Muscular dystrophy is manifested in the damage, mutation or death of nerve tissue, which causes muscle degeneration and leads to a series of abnormal symptoms, while Western medicine often can only alleviate the symptoms and delay the development of the disease, and is fundamentally ineffective against damaged and diseased nerve cells, so it is difficult to achieve. The Chinese medicine is the use of "strong muscle and marrow recovery soup" pure Chinese medicine method, the use of ginseng, astragalus, eucommia, centipede, turtle plate, angelica and other dozens of precious Chinese herbal medicines, to regulate the spleen and kidneys, nourish the heart and spleen, can improve children's own immunity.

This belongs to impotence in traditional Chinese medicine, how old is the child now.

According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, muscles are formed by the spleen, stomach, liver, kidneys and other organs that combine nutrients. Therefore, muscular dystrophy is ridiculous and can be understood from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine.

First of all, TCM believes that malnutrition of muscle rush may be related to poor digestion and absorption of the spleen and stomach. If the spleen and stomach function poorly, it will lead to the muscles not getting enough nutrients. At this time, TCM can start by improving the digestion and absorption of the spleen and stomach, and enhance the function of the spleen and stomach through TCM conditioning and dietary regulation.

Secondly, TCM believes that liver and spleen deficiency is also one of the factors leading to muscular dystrophy. If the liver qi is uncomfortable and the liver and spleen are insufficient, it will affect the normal growth, development and metabolism of muscles. Therefore, TCM can enhance the function of the liver and spleen by regulating the liver and spleen, relieving mood swings and tension, and improving liver qi stagnation.

In addition, the weakness of kidney qi can also affect the growth and metabolism of muscles, resulting in muscular dystrophy. Traditional Chinese medicine can start by regulating kidney qi and enhancing kidney yang to improve the function of the kidneys.

Finally, TCM believes that factors such as nutritional disorders, excessive fatigue, and long-term lack of exercise may also contribute to muscle dystrophy. Therefore, while suffering from muscular dystrophy, TCM will also advise patients to pay attention to a reasonable diet, moderate exercise, and avoid excessive fatigue to maintain a healthy state of the body.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that muscular dystrophy is caused by yin deficiency, phlegm dampness, insufficient fluid and coarse excavation, and the common symptoms are fatigue, muscle atrophy, dullness, dizziness, limb weakness, etc. The first method of muscular dystrophy is mainly for different foci, that is, to regulate the function of viscera, enhance physical fitness, improve nutritional status, promote blood circulation, and improve the nutritional status of muscle tissue.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that muscular dystrophy is most closely related to the spleen and kidney, the kidney is the congenital foundation, the congenital endowment is insufficient, the gold is scarce, the muscles and bones gradually appear muscle weakness and atrophy, and at the same time, the main muscles and limbs of Zheng Zhong are transformed into qi and blood, and the five internal organs and six organs are insufficient, and the muscles are not nourished.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that progressive muscular dystrophy is characterized by weakness and atrophy of skeletal muscles, and at the same time, it has the characteristics of insidious onset and progressive slow development, which should be classified into the category of dystrophy syndrome in traditional Chinese medicine. In patients with deficiency, internal injuries and losses are insufficient, the course of the disease cannot be cured for a long time, the muscles are thin and atrophied and weak, and muscular dystrophy is mostly manifested by deficiency.

However, the onset of impotence is generally more acute, the condition is shorter, no more than three months, and it is often accompanied by symptoms such as pain, cramps, and numbness of the atrophic limbs. To distinguish between the two, muscular dystrophy should be attributed to deficiency.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the kidney is the innate foundation, the main essence is stored, the bone is the marrow, and the yin and yang are hidden. The essence is the foundation of life; The vitality is also the essence of the human body. Muscular dystrophy is a hereditary disease, which should be closely related to the kidney of traditional Chinese medicine, which is due to the lack of congenital endowment, lack of essence and blood, and can not nourish the muscles, muscles and bones, and in the process of acquired development, Lingshan gradually appears muscle weakness and atrophy.

Traditional Chinese medicine also believes that the spleen and stomach are the foundation of the day after tomorrow, and the water valley is subtle, and the qi and blood are subtly transformed, and the five internal organs, six internal organs, limbs, muscles, muscles and bones are nourished. Congenital insufficiency, if it can be properly recuperated, the spleen and stomach are healthy, and it can still not be sick; If the maintenance is improper, the spleen and stomach are deficient, the function of receiving and transporting is abnormal, the biochemical source of qi, blood and fluid is insufficient, and the muscles are not nourished, then it will be muscular dystrophy.

Muscular dystrophy has problems with the spleen and kidney, the kidney is the congenital foundation, the congenital endowment is insufficient, the essence is lacking and the blood is less, the muscles and bones cannot be nourished, the muscles and bones are destroyed, and the muscles and veins cannot be moistened and the limbs are weak, and the spleen is the acquired foundation, the main muscles and limbs are metamorphosed into qi and blood, nutrition and internal organs, qi and blood biochemistry are active, and the muscles and muscles in the remaining hall are full of muscles, and the body is healthy and disease-free; When the spleen is insufficient, the spleen is not healthy, the muscles have no nutrition, the qi is the handsome of the blood, the blood is the mother of the qi, when the qi and blood are deficient, the muscles and limbs cannot be nourished, the meridians are blocked, and the muscles are atrophied and weak for a long time.

Muscular dystrophy is a chronic disease that occurs more in children and is more common in men than in women. Delayed walking, clumsy movements, shaky gait, difficulty in squatting or climbing and descending stairs attract the attention of parents, and the obvious symptoms of muscular dystrophy in the early stage are understood.

1. Normal children walk independently at the age of 1 year after birth, and children may start to walk independently at the age of 1 and a half to 2 years, or they have been walking unsteadily, which is often mistaken for calcium deficiency or weak constitution and is ignored.

2. As the child grows older, the symptoms gradually become obvious, and it is often found that the child's motor ability is worse than that of children of the same age, and the movement is uncoordinated and clumsy, and the running cannot keep up with the children of the same age. Children with muscular dystrophy gradually develop abnormal gait, walking and swaying, commonly known as duck walking, difficulty going upstairs, and difficulty squatting.

3. Children with muscular dystrophy gradually develop symptoms at the age of 3-5 years, and most of them are asymptomatic in infancy and early childhood.

4. As the disease progresses, muscular dystrophy becomes more and more severe, and the child loses the ability to walk independently at about 12 years old. After that, due to long-term bed rest, it is easy to be complicated by bedsores and pneumonia. Death from respiratory failure or heart failure can occur around the age of 20 due to respiratory muscle weakness or cardiac involvement.

The most common type of muscular dystrophy in children is progressive muscular dystrophy, or DMD, which also includes limb-girdle muscular dystrophy, oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy, and facicoscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy, etc., with dozens of species, each of which can be divided into multiple subcategories. Take Duchenne muscular dystrophy in progressive muscular dystrophy as an example, and there are the following manifestations:

1. Muscle weakness: that is, the patient's muscles have no strength, such as insufficient strength in the shoulder girdle area, waist, thighs, and buttocks, and there may be claudication when walking. Even the patient's head has no strength and the head cannot remain erect;

2. Amyotrophy: that is, the patient's muscles gradually become smaller;

3. Pseudomuscular hypertrophy: the patient's calf and stomach are particularly large.

Generally, muscle weakness will become more and more severe, 3-5 years old begins to appear weakness to climb stairs, squatting down and unable to stand up, unable to go to the toilet, and later continues to develop to general weakness, lack of strength to walk, need to use a wheelchair, and even due to respiratory muscle weakness need to be used on a ventilator, and myocardial weakness appears heart disease.

In patients with muscular dystrophy, the following symptoms may occur:

First, the symptoms of fatigue may not have any predisposing factors at the time of initial consultation, and fatigue may be cyclical, that is, muscle weakness will occur at a specific time every day, and with the aggravation of fatigue, even unable to walk upright;

Second, in the case of muscle atrophy, you can eat and drink normally, but the muscles will have progressive atrophy and slender limbs;

Third, muscle tone is significantly reduced, muscle tone refers to the tension maintained by the muscles when they are inactive, if the patient's joints are passively stretched, the muscles will reflexively produce tension, so as to maintain the stability of the joints and prevent the joints or overactivity. Patients with such diseases may feel a decrease in muscle tone and weakness all around their joints when they stretch their joints.

When muscular dystrophy is suddenly diagnosed, patients and their families should not scare themselves, mainly actively treat, follow the doctor's instructions, the doctor's purpose is to improve the patient's condition, reduce the patient's pain, prolong life, improve the quality of life, so that the patient and their family can feel at ease, comfortable and full of confidence.

1. Once the child is diagnosed with progressive muscular dystrophy, it should be confirmed as soon as possible that the child belongs to the type of muscular dystrophy. Because there are many types of muscular dystrophy. Depending on the genes that cause the disease, the way in which the child is inherited is also different.

Of course, the method and prognosis are not exactly the same. Give up the idea of "if you can't, you can't" as soon as possible. At present, there are very few truly ** diseases in neuromuscular diseases.

Most of the so-called "diseases" that can be ** are actually able to ** without **. About 80% of neuromuscular diseases are related to genetic mutations. Therefore, it cannot be **.

However, it can delay the progression of the disease and improve the quality of life of the child.

2. There are many types of hereditary neuromuscular diseases. Not every patient with genetic disorders has a definite family history. In particular, family history can be difficult to detect in autosomal recessive disorders.

Therefore, regardless of whether there is a family history or not, it is important to test for the genes that cause the disease and how the disease is inherited so that prenatal diagnosis can be made and similar tragedies can be avoided in family members or relatives.

3. Pseudohypertrophic muscular dystrophy (DMD BMD) is an X-linked recessive genetic disease. Most mothers are carriers of the disease. About 30% of mothers of affected children may have muscle soreness after exercise, or heart involvement, although there are no obvious symptoms of muscle weakness or muscle atrophy, which may manifest as palpitations.

It is recommended to check cardiac enzymes and cardiac function, especially for mothers with muscle weakness or post-exercise palpitations. Cardiac auscultation is a simple screening method for changes in heart sounds and heart rate and heart rhythm.
