Disease analysis: Hello, the causes of muscle atrophy are: 1. Neurogenic amyotrophy is mainly caused by spinal cord and lower motor neuron lesions.

It can be seen in vertebral hyperostosis of the vertebrae, intervertebral disc lesions, spinal nerve tumors, arachnoiditis, neuritis, plexopathy, spinal nerve tumors, arachnoiditis, neuritis, plexopathy, nerve injury, syringomyelia, motor neuron disease, Guillain-Barré syndrome, brain lesions, and disuse muscular atrophy due to spinal cord lesions. 2. Myogenic amyotrophy is commonly found in muscular dystrophy, dystrophic myotonic disease, periodic paralysis, polymyositis, trauma such as crush syndrome, ischemic myopathy, metabolic myopathy, endocrine myopathy, drug-induced myopathy, neuromuscular transmission disorder myopathy such as myasthenia gravis, etc. 3. Disuse amyotrophic upper motor neuron lesions are caused by long-term inactivity of muscles, systemic wasting diseases such as hyperthyroidism, malignant tumors, autoimmune diseases, etc.

4. Amyotrophy of other causes, such as cachexia amyotrophy, sympathetic muscular dystrophy, etc. Regarding muscle atrophy**: Nerve cell regeneration**, the unique nerve cell repair factor can quickly and directly nourish central nervous cells, reduce and repair nerve damage, and restore the elasticity and strength of nerve cells and skeletal muscles.

Dredging the meridians of the whole body, changing the nerve signal transduction pathway, improving the microcirculation of the whole body, effectively removing the garbage in the blood vessels, enhancing the elasticity and toughness of blood vessels, promoting oxygen supply to the brain, enhancing the ability of brain cells to tolerate hypoxia, prolonging the life of nerve cells, improving and restoring memory function, so as to treat cerebral palsy, sequelae of cerebral infarction, hemiplegia, hemiplegia, Parkinson's disease, muscle atrophy, progressive malnutrition, through 7-10 days of intensive impact**, the disease development can be quickly controlled, and the clinical verification effect is remarkable. For some mild cases, same-day improvement is seen. The exact effect depends on the condition.

To date, more than 16,800 patients have received **.

Hello, muscle atrophy, the main reason is still not exercising. Therefore, it is still necessary to strengthen the exercise so that the muscles will not atrophy. Spinal cord disorders can also cause muscle dystrophy and muscle atrophy.

Patients with muscular dystrophy are bedridden for a long time due to muscle atrophy and muscle weakness, and are prone to pneumonia, pressure ulcers, etc., and most patients have bulbar paralysis symptoms, which poses a great threat to patients' lives.

Hope it helps, thank you!

How long have you been in this situation?

1.Neurogenic amyotrophy.

Common causes are disuse, nutritional disorders, ischemia, and poisoning. Anterior horn lesions, nerve roots, plexus, peripheral nerve lesions, etc. can cause conduction disorders of nerve excitatory impulses, so that some muscle fibers are disused, resulting in disuse amyotrophy. On the other hand, after any part of the motor neuron is damaged, the release of acetylcholine from its terminal part decreases, and the sympathetic nerve nutrition is weakened, resulting in muscle atrophy.

2.Myogenic amyotrophy.

Spinal muscular muscular atrophy is confirmed by morphological examination in patients with muscular dystrophy caused by muscle disease and possibly other factors, such as shoulder girdle or facescapulohumeral pattern. Examination of animals with muscular dystrophy using microelectrode techniques shows that functional denervation of myofibers accounts for about 1 8.

There are two main categories of factors that can be caused"Amyotrophy": Nerve damage is called neurogenic amyotrophy Diseases of the muscles themselves are called myogenic amyotrophia.

There are many causes of muscle atrophy, such as nutritional disorders, metabolic abnormalities or endocrine disorders, infections, poisoning, etc., which may cause muscle atrophy. Muscle wasting can also occur if there are lesions of upper and lower motor neurons or if there is acute anterior hornular polio.

First, it may be due to a lesion of the nerve innervating the muscle, such as cerebral thrombosis or traumatic paraplegia, which can cause muscle atrophy. Second, it may be a fracture or ankylosis of the joint, and prolonged inactivity can cause disuse muscle atrophy.

There are many causes of muscle atrophy, such as not exercising for a long time, or malnutrition, or muscle atrophy caused by the inability of the body to exercise due to pathological lesions, these are the causes of muscle atrophy.

There are many causes of muscle wasting, and you need to see a doctor to find out.

Muscle wasting is a symptom that is caused by a decrease in local muscle tissue. Muscular atrophy refers to a reduction in the volume or number of muscle fibers to some extent, manifested by a decrease in local muscle tissue. As a result, muscle wasting manifests mainly after the onset of muscle weakness or even longer.

Common diseases include motor neuron disease, cervical myelopathy, and multifocal motor neuropathy.

The pathogenesis of amyotrophic diseases can be divided into three types: neurogenic amyotrophia, myogenic amyotrophia, and disuse amyotrophia.

Amyotrophy refers to the visible atrophy of the overall volume of muscles due to various reasons, which is caused by the decrease in the number or volume of muscle fibers, therefore, muscular dystrophy is not a disease, but a clinical symptom. Neurogenic amyotrophic disease mainly refers to the amyotrophy caused by lower motor neuron damage caused by various reasons, and lower motor neuron disease mainly refers to the damage of lower motor neurons such as anterior horn cells and peripheral nerves of the spinal cord, especially the muscle atrophy caused by anterior horn cell damage usually progresses rapidly, such as polio, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, etc.

Myogenic amyotrophy refers to muscular atrophy caused by a lesion of skeletal muscle itself, such as progressive muscular dystrophy associated with abnormal genes. Disuse amyotrophy refers to amyotrophy caused by limb paralysis, long-term bed rest, and reduced exercise caused by various reasons, and mostly involves disused limbs. Different ** amyotrophic atrophy has different clinical manifestations, signs, auxiliary examination results, ** mode and prognosis.

The main signs of muscle atrophy are muscle weakness, muscle fatigue, and muscle pain. If the disease continues to develop, it can also cause complications such as muscle contractures, fractures, and osteoporosis, as follows:

1.Muscle weakness: manifested as frequent falls, when climbing stairs, running, jumping, there will be more labor.

2.Muscle fatigue: unable to carry out activities for a long time, muscles will have obvious fatigue and weakness.

3.Muscle pain: It is mainly muscle atrophy caused by muscle inflammation, trauma, etc., and patients will also have obvious pain symptoms, or tenderness.

If not intervened in time, muscle atrophy will gradually worsen, and in addition to fractures, osteoporosis, and even complications such as scoliosis, swallowing and breathing difficulties may occur.

The initial symptoms of muscle wasting are as follows:

Slowly progressive facial muscle atrophy with closed eyes, cheeks bulging or whistle, humeral muscle atrophy, pterygoid 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 reflexes.

Guidance: There is no special method for this type of disease, and it is not possible, some patients can temporarily relieve pain, it is recommended that patients go to a professional Chinese medicine hospital in time, choose the correct and effective, Chinese and Western medicine methods are effective, can fully activate and repair nerve cells, and treat both internal and external two-way effects, to achieve the ideal effect of patients, through the pure Chinese medicine with physical instruments, effectively alleviate the patient's discomfort symptoms, in addition, the patient's psychology is also very important, to maintain an optimistic and happy mood, It is beneficial to assist muscle atrophy, and strong long-term or repeated mental tension, pessimism and other emotional changes can affect the excitability and inhibition of the cerebral cortex, aggravate muscle beats, and develop muscle atrophy. Therefore, the patient's psychology is very important.
