What is the diagnosis of myasthenia gravis?

Myasthenia gravis is a disease that plagues people's health, and patients with this disease should pay enough attention to it, so patients should do a good job in diagnosing it in their daily lives, so as to achieve early detection of the disease, which is very good for the disease. So, how to accurately diagnose myasthenia gravis? The following are commonly used diagnostic methods.

1. The cause of myasthenia gravis is not very clear. Myasthenia gravis is now generally considered to be an autoimmune disease. In addition, most patients will also have thymic hypertrophy, hyperplasia or thymic tumors.

In addition, patients may experience triggers such as excessive fatigue, viral infections, and childbirth. It should also be noted that it can occur in both sexes and at any age, and it can also affect the muscles of the bones and muscles in any part of the body.

2. Some children will have cracked eyes and open their eyes after waking up, and their eyelids may droop after half an hour. For these patients, parents do not need to be overly nervous, to know that as long as the child can be properly cared for, most children can return to normal.

3. For adult patients with myasthenia gravis, it will generally manifest as a series of symptoms such as drooping eyelids and diplopia, and will gradually involve the facial muscles, neck muscles and limb muscles. In general, these symptoms are mild in the early morning and worsen after activity and fatigue.

To determine whether a patient has myasthenia gravis, the patient's medical history is first to be seen. If the patient has drooping eyelids, double vision, dysphagia, general malaise, and symptoms that are mild in the morning, worse after activity and less effective at rest, the suspicion of this disease is high.

This is a scientific problem that requires the use of specialized instruments for measurement. Muscle weakness cannot be subjectively guessed.

Who can help you diagnose it online? Let's go to the hospital!

Myasthenia gravis requires a series of examinations, and it is necessary to go to a special department of a large hospital for examination.

There are several ways to diagnose myasthenia gravis, the first aspect is to say the doctor, that is, the doctor of neurology, then through your clinical performance, the clinical performance has two major characteristics, the first is muscle weakness, and the second point is fatigue, which is particularly obvious. Especially for example, in the morning, the patient says that he feels tired, the fatigue is light in the morning, and the muscle weakness is particularly severe in the evening, or when he speaks, he speaks loudly at the beginning, and after speaking for a period of time, his voice is low or hoarse, or when he chews when eating, eats steamed buns or eats cakes, the masseter muscles are okay at the beginning, and the more he eats, the more he is tired, so this is a typical feature of myasthenia gravis, so this is from the clinical.

The second aspect is what we say about doing pharmacological experiments, that is, neostigmine experiments, our doctors will prescribe a shot of neostigmine to the patient, evaluate the degree of muscle weakness and fatigue before taking the drug, and then half an hour after the injection to a small ** price, the improvement degree of the drug on this muscle weakness, if the improvement is particularly obvious, that is to say, the neostigmine test is positive, we can use it as the basis for diagnosis, which is the second aspect.

1.Abnormal vocalization is similar to the symptoms of a cold or flu. After reading and talking for a long time, the voice becomes hoarse and low, and finally there is no sound at all, which is caused by the weakness of the throat muscles.

2.Difficulty swallowing Unable to swallow food, coughing when drinking water that can easily choke into the trachea, or flow out of the nostrils. Severe dysphagia that must be fed through a nasogastric tube is also a symptom of muscle weakness.

3.Neck muscle weakness What are the main symptoms of muscle weakness? The main manifestation is that the head is lowered when sitting, and the head can only be raised by holding the chin with the hand, and the patient cannot bend the neck and raise the head if he is allowed to lie on his back.

4.Facial Weakness Symptoms of muscle weakness are also weakness of the expression muscles of the entire face, and the eyes are often closed during sleep. The expression is indifferent, and the smile is very unnatural.

Myasthenia gravis begins with muscle fatigue and can affect all muscles of the body, but it is often focused and predominantly localized.
