Why do people get myasthenia gravis?

Patient's question:

During a routine health check-up at the company, I discovered that I had Myasthenia Gravis. Why did I get Myasthenia Gravis?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, there are several causes of myasthenia gravis. First, it is related to your own body, such as autoimmune dysfunction. Additionally, it may be related to thymoma. Generally, relapses are triggered by factors such as infections, excessive fatigue, psychological trauma, and early pregnancy. If you have thymoma, it can usually be relieved after surgery. For autoimmune issues, medication is recommended, and intravenous immunoglobulin injections can be used if symptoms worsen.
