Muscle atrophy refers to rhabdomyodystrophy, muscle volume is smaller than that of normal people, and muscle fibers become thinner or even disappear.

Guiding opinions:

Generally, blood sugar is actively controlled (including drugs and diet), and physical therapy is feasible, such as increasing muscle strength exercise, walking training, warm bath and massage. B vitamins are used, and B 1, B6 and B 12 are combined. The application of various painkillers helps to relieve pain. It is worth noting that the following drugs can also be selected: amitriptyline and propylamine.

Life care:

Patients with muscular atrophy stay in bed for a long time due to muscular atrophy and myasthenia, and are prone to pneumonia and bedsore. Most patients have symptoms of bulbar palsy, which poses a great threat to their lives. In addition to seeking medical treatment, it is very important for patients with muscular atrophy to treat themselves.

1, keep optimistic and happy. Strong long-term or repeated emotional changes, such as mental tension, anxiety, irritability and pessimism, can unbalance the process of excitement and inhibition in the cerebral cortex, aggravate muscle jumping and develop into muscle atrophy.

2. Reasonable distribution of diet structure. Atrophic patients need high-protein and high-energy dietary supplements to provide substances necessary for the reconstruction of nerve cells and skeletal muscle cells, so as to enhance muscle strength and increase muscle. Early use of high-protein foods rich in vitamins, phospholipids and trace elements, and actively cooperate with medicated diets, such as yam, coix seed, lotus plumule, dried tangerine peel, radix Pseudostellariae, lily, etc. Fasting spicy food, quitting smoking and drinking.

In the middle and late stage, semi-liquid food and liquid food with high protein, high nutrition and high energy are the main foods, so as to maintain the nutrition and water-electrolyte balance of patients.

3. Combination of work and rest. Avoid compulsive exercise, because compulsive exercise is not conducive to the recovery of skeletal muscle function and the regeneration and repair of muscle cells because of skeletal muscle fatigue.

4. Prevent colds and gastroenteritis. Patients with muscular atrophy have low autoimmune function or some kind of immune deficiency. Once you catch a cold, patients with muscular atrophy get worse, the course of disease is prolonged, muscle weakness and muscle jump are aggravated, especially patients with bulbar paralysis are prone to pulmonary infection. If not prevented in time, the prognosis will be poor and even life-threatening.

5. Gastroenteritis can lead to intestinal bacterial dysfunction, especially viral gastroenteritis can damage the anterior horn cells of spinal cord to varying degrees, thus making the muscle jump of patients with muscular atrophy worse, the muscle strength decreased, and the condition repeated or aggravated. Maintaining normal digestive function of patients with muscular atrophy is the basis of rehabilitation.

Warm reminder: Because medical problems need to be prevented and treated according to the patient's condition, the above is for reference only. Please go to the hospital for diagnosis in time and follow the doctor's advice so as not to delay the illness.
