How long is cerebellar atrophy from early to late?

The degree of brain atrophy can vary greatly from person to person, from a few months to a few months, to a decade of slow progression. The principle of brain atrophy is removal; Activate brain metabolic function and indirectly inhibit the progression of the disease; Activates brain cells that are in an inhibited, dormant state; Reduce the occurrence of various symptoms and complications associated with brain atrophy; Maintain residual brain function and improve quality of life. Since vascular disease is the culprit of cerebral atrophy, it is necessary to actively prevent and treat those diseases that affect vascular health, such as hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, arteriosclerosis, etc., and adjust lifestyle, improve nutritional structure, and correct bad lifestyle habits; The drug should be controlled, of course, the drug should be gradual and consistent.

In the early stage of cerebellar atrophy, symptoms such as dizziness, tinnitus, forgetfulness, insomnia, and irritability are common, and in the middle stage, memory loss, slow response, and apathy are common. In the later stage, there will be obvious decline in intelligence, changes in the shape of brain tissue, and even dementia. It is a chronic pathological process. The exact timing is difficult to determine, especially on an individual basis, depending on the patient's specific situation.

It is recommended to intervene for some controllable agenic factors, and on this basis, some drugs that can improve the patient's ataxia can be selected to partially improve the patient's clinical symptoms.

Late cerebellar atrophy symptoms:

1. The muscle incoordination of the limbs is aggravated, the movement disorder is obvious, the tongue is knotted, the speech is not clear, the writing is difficult, it is easy to choke when eating or drinking, the posture and pace cannot be controlled, the balance cannot be maintained, the movement cannot be walked for long distances, it is difficult to go up and down the stairs, and it is easy to fall.

2. Memory impairment, recent memory impairment occurs earlier, often loses items, and with the development of illness and spring syndrome, memory is completely lost.

3. Difficulty swallowing in the late stage, inability to stand, easy fracture after falling, inability to take care of oneself, long-term bed rest, fatal pneumonia, bedsores, infection, sepsis, kidney failure.

Speech is extremely unclear, inability to control the intonation, even speech, illegible handwriting, and difficulty swallowing. Unable to stand, or even unable to sit up, need to rely on a wheelchair to walk, or stay in bed or in bed, unable to take care of themselves, and some patients with severe clothing will also cause other major diseases that are life-threatening.

When the cerebellum reaches an advanced stage, it may cause paralysis if the condition is more severe. The cerebellum is mainly to control the coordination of the balance limbs, if there is atrophy, a large part of the situation may be paralyzed, so if you are diagnosed with this disease, you should actively carry out **, mainly to choose the **method suitable for your own condition**, regular progress**, the prognosis is still good, you had better follow the doctor's instructions now. Patients with cerebellar atrophy are mainly bedridden and unable to walk in the later stage.

The function of the cerebellum is responsible for balance, and the main symptom of cerebellar atrophy is balance dysfunction. In the middle or early stage of cerebellar atrophy, patients often have difficulty walking, even if they can walk, they are wobbly and very unstable, and it is easy to fall, especially in the elderly, after falling, it will cause fractures, and fractures will cause a series of problems after being bedridden.

In addition, in the later stage of cerebellar atrophy, in addition to cerebellar atrophy, there will be atrophy of other systems, such as atrophy of the cortex, atrophy of the brainstem, atrophy of the pyramidal tract, and so on. Therefore, in the late stage of cerebellar atrophy, in addition to poor balance function, there will also be some cognitive dysfunction, choking on water, dysphagia and other related complications, so the quality of life in the later stage is very poor, basically in a state of bed rest. If not properly cared for, it can lead to complications such as aspiration pneumonia, venous thrombosis of the lower extremities, and pressure sores.

Cerebellar atrophy is a slow-onset progressive disease. The initial symptoms are not very obvious and are usually difficult to detect. In the middle stage, patients will have symptoms such as memory loss, ataxia, and difficulty communicating, and may be accompanied by headache and dizziness.

In later stages, patients develop symptoms of dementia. Cerebellar atrophy disease cannot be completely controlled, but can only be effectively controlled. You should go to a regular hospital for a detailed examination, clarify the specific condition and control, and give targeted treatment and control.

Prevent exacerbations of cerebellar atrophy.

Patients with cerebellar atrophy should do more outdoor exercises in their daily life, such as brisk walking, jogging, dancing, tai chi, etc., which can effectively prevent the aggravation of cerebellar atrophy. Patients must be amazed in their daily life and ensure adequate sleep and rest.

In the later stage of cerebellar atrophy, the patient can no longer take care of himself, and at this time he can no longer stand and walk on his own, and he needs a wheelchair to go out. And at this time, the patient's slurred speech is very severe, and others cannot understand what the patient is saying. In the later stage of cerebellar atrophy, the patient's response becomes sluggish, and it will be accompanied by memory loss, stubbornness, and severe consciousness disorders.

Patients with more severe conditions may not be able to urinate uncontrollably, and are prone to urinary incontinence. Therefore, in the later stage of cerebellar atrophy, it is necessary to actively ** and strengthen nursing to avoid the occurrence of complications such as bedsores and lung infections.

1. There will be asympathic gait, unsteady walking, ataxia dysarthria, incoherent speech, ataxia of limbs, nystagmus and so on.

2. If it reaches the advanced stage, there will be atrophy and annihilation of other systems, such as brain stem, cortex, etc., memory loss, cognitive impairment, and the prognosis of patients is often not good.

3. In the late stage, due to limited activities, it is necessary to stay in bed for a long time, if the nursing is not comprehensive enough, it is easy to be complicated by bedsores or lung infections, urinary system infections, venous thrombosis, etc., and even life-threatening.

4. In the nervous system, there can also be paralysis of the throat muscles, choking on drinking water, aspiration, or sleep apnea syndrome and so on.

In the advanced stage of cerebellar atrophy, patients will have loss of movement and cannot stand and walk, because the main function of the cerebellum is balance and regulation of body movements, or the patient will have loss of motor function and balance. The further development of cerebellar atrophy will also affect the brain tissue, so there will be signs of brain atrophy such as mental decline and memory loss. For patients with cerebellar atrophy, it is still necessary to take positive measures to prevent the formation of cerebellar atrophy, and regular imaging examinations of the cerebellum and other brain tissues are necessary to help detect brain atrophy as soon as possible, and to do more actions that help balance the group, which are better measures to prevent cerebellar atrophy.
