What s going on with muscle atrophy, what s going on with muscle atrophy

The risk of muscle atrophy is related to many factors, such as neurological diseases or muscle damage to the muscles themselves, such as trauma. It is more common in people who are bedridden and overexercised, or in patients with progressive malnutrition and motor neuron disease. Diseases such as lumbar disc herniation and anorexia can also induce this disease.

1. Genetic factors: It usually occurs in adolescents, also known as pseudohypertrophic muscular dystrophy. At present, there is no targeted method, and there is a certain danger that will endanger life.

2. Nervous system diseases: generally polio, cerebral infarction and other diseases, neuropathy causes nerve conduction disorders, resulting in the disuse of some muscle fibers, weakened exercise ability and muscle atrophy.

3. Trauma: When traumatized, you may stay in bed for a long time**, and your muscles will atrophy if you don't move for a long time. In addition, if the spinal cord is damaged due to a fracture, the nerve compression may also cause muscle atrophy.

4. Motor neuron disease: It is a series of chronic progressive neurodegenerative diseases with more than or lower motor neuron damage as the prominent manifestation.

5. Other diseases: such as lumbar disc herniation, cervical spondylosis, malnutrition, Cushing's syndrome, myositis and other diseases, can also cause muscle atrophy.

Myatrophy refers to the reduction or thinning of the volume and shape of muscles compared with normal, and the reduction or even loss of muscle fibers. In normal adults, the diameter of muscle fibers is 48 65 m in males and 33 53 m in females, and if < is 35 m in males and 28 m

Main**. Myogenic and neurogenic diseases.

Common symptoms. Affected muscles are prone to fatigue and muscle weakness.

Check the items. Physical examination, electromyography, muscle biopsy, muscle enzyme profile, spinal evoked potential measurement, urine test, blood biochemical examination muscle atrophy is more common in clinical practice, ** neurogenic muscle atrophy, myogenic nerve atrophy, disuse muscle atrophy and other causes of muscle atrophy. In the case of muscle atrophy, in order to find out the cause, it is best for the patient to go to the neurology department and surgery clinic for examination, for muscle atrophy, you can also check the electromyography, head MRI, spine MRI, etc., can be a clear diagnosis.

The ** of muscle atrophy is mainly ****: first.

1. Patients must have a persistent attitude and determination to carry out active training, passive training, auxiliary training, intensive training, etc., and educate patients; Clause.

2. Physics, such as low frequency, medium frequency, magnetic resonance heat, etc.; Third, you can choose the best methods of traditional Chinese medicine, such as acupuncture, massage, massage, etc.

If muscle atrophy occurs in normal times, then there is a certain connection between the two conditions. First of all, due to the lack of nutrients such as calcium, iron, zinc, etc., it will cause muscle dystrophy and atrophy, which will cause various organs to be damaged. Another situation is considered to be due to the inflammation of the local nerves, which correspondingly involves the inflammation of the muscles, which will cause the function of the muscles to decline and atrophy.

Pay attention to self-recovery exercises.

Muscle atrophy refers to a decrease in the number of myofibroblasts or a decrease in the volume of myofibers, resulting in a decrease in the overall muscle volume, resulting in the appearance of muscle atrophy that can be observed by the naked eye.

Muscle atrophy is first of all a disease of the muscle itself, such as various myositis, muscular dystrophy, etc. Second, peripheral neuropathy or lesions in the anterior horn of the spinal cord can cause secondary amyotrophy, which is usually accompanied by neuropathy-related symptoms in addition to muscle wasting. Finally, brain lesions can not only cause weakness, numbness, and reduced activity of the limbs, but also lead to disuse muscle atrophy over time.

Beijing Deshengmen Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine-Yin Shirong-Department of Impotence-Chief Physician-Common causes of muscle atrophy?

What are the common symptoms of muscle wasting?

1. Idiopathic blepharospasm is bilateral eyelid muscle spasm, often accompanied by mental disorders, electromyography shows facial muscle asynchronous discharge, the frequency is normal, which may be caused by pyramidal system dysfunction.

2. Facial muscle twitch is a subtle tremor of individual fascicles of the facial muscle, which often invades the surrounding eyelid muscles, is mostly limited to one side, and can be relieved by itself, which may be caused by benign lesions that invade the brainstem and cranial nerves.

3. Pathological muscle atrophy. Such muscle atrophy can only be improved by medications**, which are not very effective. At best, it can only be maintained.

4. Physical muscle atrophy. It is injured by external forces, and non-pathological muscle atrophy can be recovered through later training.
