Can you still grow muscle with muscle atrophy? Why do muscles atrophy?

It depends on the situation, if the muscle atrophy is not very serious and does not affect the nerves, then the muscle atrophy and atrophy can grow back, it is recommended to do some acupuncture and moxibustion conditioning often, or do some later functional training, so that there is a repair effect. If it is more severe, or it is a congenital muscle atrophy, it is generally difficult to grow back.

What kind of muscle atrophy is it seeing? If it is muscle atrophy caused by pathological causes, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a detailed diagnosis, if it is due to malnutrition, or muscle atrophy caused by a long period of inactivity, it can be recovered through physical exercise.

How can muscle atrophy still grow, for example, can people grow young when they are old?

The condition of muscle atrophy is because if you do not exercise or exercise for a long time, then there will be muscle atrophy, or there will be physical lesions, and muscle atrophy will occur if you stay in bed for a long time.

Long-term lack of exercise, such as not even bothering to walk, sitting and lying down for a long time.

The main causes of muscle wasting are genetic factors, neurological factors, trauma, and other diseases.

First, genetic factors.

Genetic factors can cause muscle wasting, such as progressive muscular dystrophy, a group of inherited muscle degenerative disorders characterized by symmetrical muscle weakness and atrophy that progressively worsens without sensory impairment. In addition to this, there are mitochondrial myopathies, etc.

Second, neurological factors.

Lesions of the nervous system can cause nerve signaling disorders, resulting in partial muscle fiber waste, reduced motor capacity, leading to disuse muscle atrophy, in addition, when neurons are damaged, the release of acetylcholine from their terminals is reduced, and neurotrophic effect is weakened, resulting in muscle atrophy.

3. Trauma. When a fracture occurs, due to long-term immobilization of the affected limb and inability to move, it will lead to reduced limb movement and disuse muscle atrophy; In addition, fractures may damage peripheral nerves or cause compression of the spinal cord and nerves, resulting in muscle atrophy.

4. Other diseases.

Cervical spondylosis, lumbar disc herniation, tumors, etc. can cause compression of the spinal cord and nerves in the corresponding parts, which may cause muscle atrophy; Malnutrition, Cushing's syndrome, hyperthyroidism, etc. can also cause muscle atrophy; In addition, slow dyeing can also cause muscle atrophy.

The cause of muscle atrophy is disuse muscular atrophy, such as stroke will lead to limited function of the limbs, and in severe cases, there will be a significant decrease in muscle strength. For example, the muscle strength of the zero level will cause obvious paralysis, and long-term existence will lead to muscle atrophy. Paraplegia patients are more likely to experience muscle atrophy, and some muscle injuries and fractures may lead to muscle atrophy.

There is also a disease of progressive amyotrophy, the patient's condition is still relatively critical, which will affect the muscles of the entire human body to produce muscle atrophy, and even affect the patient's life. This disease is also noteworthy and a serious cause of muscle wasting. It should be aimed at the ** of amyotrophy, as well as with traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, massage, etc., to promote muscle recovery and ** training.

Some muscle wasting is caused by impaired nerve function, some by lesions of the muscles themselves, and some by systemic diseases. Impaired nerve function is the main cause of muscle atrophy. Because the muscles lose the innervation of the nervous system, it will affect the motor function of the muscles, so that the contraction of the muscles is uncoordinated or cannot be contracted, resulting in muscle atrophy.

If there are some lesions in the muscles themselves, it will affect the blood circulation of the muscles, affect the nutrient supply to the muscles, and also lead to muscle atrophy. Conditions such as malnutrition and hyperthyroidism can affect muscle energy**, and muscle atrophy can occur over a longer course of the disease.
