What are the causes of muscle wasting

Long-term inactivity (25%): Disuse amyotrophic upper motor neuron disease is caused by long-term inactivity of muscles, systemic wasting diseases such as hyperthyroidism, malignant tumors, autoimmune diseases, etc. Disease ** (20%):

Myogenic muscular atrophy is commonly seen in muscular dystrophy, dystrophic myotia, periodic paralysis, polymyositis, trauma such as crush syndrome, ischemic myopathy, metabolic myopathy, endocrine myopathy, drug-induced myopathy, neuromuscular transmission disorders such as myasthenia gravis, etc.

Malignant tumors, autoimmune diseases, etc. Disease ** (20%): Myogenic amyotrophy is common in muscular dystrophy and dystrophic myotonic disease.

To put it simply: muscle atrophy can be done through TCM methods**. There is a case:

Diagnosed by the Affiliated Hospital of Jilin University as motor neuron necrosis, body muscle atrophy, calf varicose veins, through a month of **, except for the arm has no effect, other parts of the muscles have been restored, calf varicose veins eliminated. **Methods include: taking ginseng spleen strengthening pills, tonifying zhongyi qi pills, non-professional acupuncture, cupping.

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, muscles and limbs are in charge of the spleen. In terms of muscle atrophy alone, you can take ginseng spleen strengthening pills and tonifying Zhongyi qi pills. Ginseng Spleen Strengthening Pills are more targeted and have a better effect on digestive diseases; The tonifying and invigorating qi pill has the effect of replenishing the zhongyi qi and lifting the sun; The scope of action is wider and the level of action is deeper, which is suitable for the case of a long course of disease.

Muscle atrophy indicates that there is a lack of qi in the human body. A person's lack of Zhongqi can be judged from Hegu Acupoint (Tiger's Mouth): if the Hegu Acupoint is full of muscles, it means that Zhongqi is sufficient, otherwise, it means that Zhongqi is insufficient.

Taking medicine with acupuncture and cupping at the same time**, the effect will be better; Acupuncture can relax the meridians and activate the meridians, and cupping can dispel the rheumatism and cold in the body; Alcohol hurts the liver, liver disease, liver and spleen, so you should avoid alcohol.

Salty hurts the bones, and bone wounds hurt the bones. Eating too salty food for a long time will hurt the bones, and the muscles will atrophy when the bones are damaged, and the bones will be in charge of the kidneys.

Therefore, muscle atrophy can be considered from a renal point of view.

In short, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the causes of muscle atrophy include diseases of the spleen and kidneys; **, should also be considered from both aspects.

If the body is heavy, the waist is cold, and you are like sitting in water, you can take Ganjiang Lingshu soup (kidney soup).

If the body has rheumatism and cold, the evil qi should be removed; It can be said unceremoniously that if there is a little evil in the body, the movement of the limbs will be affected, that is, the movement of the limbs will not be able to move freely.

Body muscle atrophy, calf varicose veins, through a month of **, except for the arm has no effect, other parts of the muscles are restored, calf varicose veins are eliminated.

(1) Neuropathic muscular atrophy: muscle atrophy that occurs when lower motor neurons and their fibers are damaged. Predisposition to nutritional disorders.

2) Disuse atrophy: caused by long-term inactivity of a certain muscle of the limb. Disuse atrophy can occur when the limb is immobilized with a splint or cast, or when limb movement is impaired due to arthritis, periarticular inflammation, or localized pain, and can also be seen in hysterical paralysis.

3) Central amyotrophy: contralateral limb muscle atrophy caused by hyperreflexia or positive pathological signs, often caused by lesions in the motor area of the cerebral hemisphere and deep or parietal lobes. Some people have used pyramidal bundles to explain the dystrophy of the corresponding anterior horn cells, but none of the experimental tests have been abnormal.

4) Myogenic atrophy: It is a muscle vegetative and metabolic disorder caused by the lesion of the muscle itself.

There are many reasons for muscle atrophy, such as long-term inactivity, sedentary, or because of illness that leads to lesions and inability to exercise, which will cause the muscles in some parts to atrophy, so it is necessary to exercise regularly to keep the muscles alive, so that this will not happen.

Nerve damage leads to atrophy. For example, in lumbar disc herniation, nerve roots are compressed for a long time, and neuralgia occurs in muscle groups; For example, muscle atrophy occurs in the hips and legs, and neuralgia occurs when muscle atrophy.

There are two main categories of causes of amyotrophy:

1. Atrophy caused by nervous system diseases, neurogenic amyotrophy caused by peripheral neuropathy is more common, and disuse amyotrophy caused by central nervous system disease, the former is common in Guillain-Barré syndrome, multiple peripheral neuropathy or mononeuropathy, and diabetic peripheral neuropathy and uremic peripheral neuropathy are less common in amyotrophy. It generally occurs because the muscles lose innervation and nutrition, resulting in secondary muscle fiber thinning and atrophy. The central nervous system causes muscle paralysis, causing muscles to be unable to move, long-term loss of force, and also leading to atrophy.

Clause. 2. Myogenic muscular atrophy is generally caused by muscle diseases, such as progressive muscular dystrophy, polymyositis or dermatomyositis in the later stage, muscular dystrophy is a neurodegenerative disease, which will lead to muscle fiber atrophy, and there is also the possibility of pseudohypertrophy, polymyositis and dermatomyositis are directly damaged muscle cells, and there will be obvious atrophy in the terminal stage of the disease.

There are several causes of muscle atrophy, first of all, it is caused by muscle diseases, myositis such as polymyositis, and patients will have muscle atrophy and muscle damage. Secondly, patients with myasthenia gravis, there is a type of myasthenia gravis that is amyotrophic type, and patients can also develop muscle atrophy.

There are also diseases of the peripheral nerves, such as diabetes, and the situation caused by metabolic factors after poisoning, or autoimmune factors, resulting in more serious muscle atrophy, which is caused by neurological factors caused by peripheral neuropathy.

Central nervous system, such as spinal cord lesions, can also cause muscle atrophy, and patients generally present with upper motor neuron paralysis, in addition to muscle atrophy, patients will show signs of muscle hypertonia, which is caused by the lesion. There is also a kind of disuse atrophy, such as the patient who is on bed rest during the immobilization period after a fracture, and muscle atrophy will occur after a few months, which is a disuse factor, and the muscle atrophy caused by the patient walking less.

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 3.

There are two main groups of factors that can cause "amyotrophy": nerve damage is called neurogenic amyotrophy; The disease of the muscles themselves is called myogenic amyotrophy.

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.

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!
