Patient's question:
My father is 40 years old this year, and he has not had any major health issues before. Tonight, around 2:30 AM when he went to the bathroom, he suddenly found that his two legs had no strength, unable to support his upper body, and it was very difficult to stand up. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the situation you described, it may be related to a brain issue. The cause could be a neuropathy, which might be related to the brain, or a neurogenic problem caused by a herniated lumbar disc, or peripheral neuropathy. It is recommended that you visit the internal medicine department of a local hospital to undergo a brain examination to rule out a stroke. Active laboratory tests for electrolytes and a brain CT scan should be performed. After confirming the cause, a treatment plan can be formulated.
