What are the early symptoms of common muscular dystrophy?

1. Muscle weakness in the body: An obvious symptom in the early stage of muscle atrophy is muscle weakness, muscle weakness will cause us to be unable to hold a lot of things steadily, and we will always shake when we take things, which is an obvious early symptom of muscle atrophy

2. Thinning of the body: Many people with muscle atrophy will slowly lose weight, and their weight will drop sharply. This symptom is also obvious, no matter how much we eat, we will still slowly lose weight, so it is recommended that you go to the hospital for a check-up when you are emaciated to see if you have muscle atrophy

3. Muscle response slows: The early symptoms of muscle atrophy are not particularly many, and few people will notice that there is actually another symptom of early muscle atrophy is muscle sluggishness, that is, when our muscles make some reactions, its response is not as fast as before, that is, there is a dull situation, so we also need to pay special attention

Tips: The early symptoms of muscle atrophy have the above obvious characteristics, this kind of muscle atrophy is not possible for everyone to encounter, so when we have the above symptoms, it is recommended that you go to the hospital to check your body and avoid the harm of the disease as soon as possible

Of course, there are many symptoms, depending on the individual's situation and the severity of the condition, this can be carried out by traditional Chinese medicine**.

The initial symptoms of muscle atrophy, the initial onset of muscle atrophy, slowly progressive facial muscle atrophy with eyes closed, cheeks puffing or whistle, humeral muscle atrophy, wing-like protrusion of the shoulder blades when the upper limbs are raised, no paresthesias, manifested as localized atrophy of the temporal muscle and masticatory muscles on one side, and the lower jaw is biased to the affected side when the mouth is opened, which may be accompanied by decreased or absent facial sensation and corneal reflex. In adolescents, tongue muscle atrophy is associated with dysphagia and dysarthria. Slow-onset bilateral tongue muscle atrophy, accompanied by fasciculations, sudden tongue muscle atrophy, not accompanied by fasciculations, manifested as plaque atrophy of the forehead or cheeks, ** dark pigment, pinched subcutaneous tissue tension, no abnormality in neurological examination.

The early symptoms of muscle atrophy are: 1. Weakness of the lower limbs, inability to stand for a long time, soreness and weakness of lumbar muscles, sensory impairment and loss of pain on one or both sides, accompanied by dizziness, dizziness, tinnitus, spermatozoa, enuresis or menstrual irregularities. 2. Weakness of limbs, numbness of hands and feet.

3. Muscle withering and emaciation, accompanied by fatigue. 4. Muscle strength and muscle tone do not change much, and muscle atrophy of the upper limbs often appears first at the radial margin of the thenar area. 5. Muscle hypertrophy.

If the muscles are hypertrophied, but the elasticity and muscle position reflexes are weakened, it is called pseudohypertrophy, which is usually located in the vicinity of muscle atrophy and is more common in myogenic atrophy. 6. Sensory impairment. Syringomyelia, polyneuritis and other diseases, muscle atrophy can be accompanied by sensory impairment.

7. Muscle fiber tremor is also an early symptom of muscle atrophy.

What are the clinical manifestations of patients with muscle atrophy in Beijing Deshengmen Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine-Yin Shirong-Department of Impotence-Chief Physician-Muscular Dystrophy?

In life, we must understand the symptoms of muscle atrophy, so that it can be detected and advanced in time at the early stage of the disease to prevent further aggravation of the disease.

1.Neurogenic amyotrophia: due to lower motor neurons and their damage.

When the anterior horn cells and brainstem motor nerve nuclei are damaged, the muscle atrophy is segmental, mostly distal to the limbs, symmetrical or asymmetrical, without sensory impairment, fasciculations often occur, and the degree of muscle strength and tendon reflexes is related to the degree of damage. Electromyography shows myofiber tremor potentials or high-amplitude motor unit potentials. Biopsy shows muscle atrophy and thinning.

Microscopic fascicular atrophy changes.

2.Myogenic atrophy: caused by a disease of the muscles themselves.

Atrophy is not distributed according to the nerve, usually proximal pelvic girdle and shoulder girdle symmetrical muscle atrophy, and rarely distal. With muscle weakness, no muscle fibrillation, and sensory deficits. Serum creatine phosphokinase, lactate dehydrogenase, aspartate aminotransferase, phosphoglucose mutase, and aldolase were all increased to varying degrees, and muscle weight phosphokinase was the most sensitive.

Electromyography is characterised by the presence of short-term multiphasic potentials.

3.Other: central amyotrophy is usually accompanied by hyperreflexia or pathological reflexes. Ischemic amyotrophy is mostly caused by various arteritis, thrombosis and other muscle ischemia and aseptic necrosis. Disuse amyotrophy is associated with long-term inactivity and is mostly reversible.

Amyotrophy refers to a type of disease that causes muscle tissue to shrink due to rhabdomyotrophic disorder, thinning or even disappearance of muscle fibers, and the symptoms of early muscle atrophy may vary depending on the location of muscle atrophy. In the early stage of limb muscle atrophy, patients may feel that their strength decreases, their limbs become thinner, and their limb movements are affected to varying degrees.

Muscle atrophy is usually referred to as rhabdomyodystrophy, which causes muscle fibers to become thinner and smaller, often accompanied by a decrease in strength. Muscles are responsible for movement, and muscle atrophy often leads to limited movement and decreased strength. Early muscle wasting symptoms may vary depending on where the muscle is wasting.

In the early stage of limb muscle atrophy, patients may feel that their strength decreases, their limbs become thinner, and their limb movements are affected to varying degrees.

In the early stage of swallowing muscle atrophy, there may be choking on food and drinking, and in the early stage of respiratory muscle atrophy, there may be conscious breathing straining, which is more obvious after activity. If there is generalized muscle atrophy, it is necessary to consider whether it is an inherited neuromuscular lesion or whether it is a systemic disease, such as an autoimmune disease, and the diagnosis should be confirmed by muscle biopsy or genetic testing.

Skeletal muscle atrophy is more common in lower motor neuron damage, and patients may have symptoms of limb weakness in the early stage of the disease, which are manifested as weak fist clenching, unstable holding, soreness of lower limbs, lack of facial fullness, slight weakness in chewing, and slightly worse neck turning and shoulder shrugging. Visceral smooth muscle atrophy such as gastrointestinal, esophagus, bladder, etc., can cause mild abdominal distention, decreased appetite, abnormal urination and bowel movements, and some patients may not have any clinical symptoms. As the disease progresses, patients may experience generalized muscle atrophy that affects the respiratory muscles, causing bed rest or dyspnea.
