Patient's question:
Medical Description (onset time, main symptoms, etc.): Developed post-polio syndrome at around 1 year old, leading to muscle atrophy. Now nearly 40, I can walk, but the affected leg is about 3 cm shorter than the normal leg, affecting appearance. Can it be treated? Moreover, after giving birth, the condition has worsened over time, feeling even more severe than before! I've had two fractures, which have further caused muscle atrophy, and I'm very worried!Doctor's answer:
Muscle atrophy refers to dystrophy of striated muscle, reduced muscle volume compared to normal, thinning or even disappearance of muscle fibers, or neuromuscular hypertrophy. In addition to pathological changes in muscle tissue itself, muscle nutrition is closely related to the nervous system. Spinal cord diseases often lead to muscle dystrophy and muscle atrophy. The treatment method involves the regeneration of nerve cells, where specific nerve cell repair factors can rapidly and directly nourish central nervous cells, reduce and repair nerve damage, and restore the elasticity and strength of nerve cells and skeletal muscle.
