Patient's question:
My husband fainted at the place where you were trained yesterday. The doctor said he suffers from Myasthenia Gravis. Can Myasthenia Gravis be cured?Doctor's answer:
Myasthenia gravis is incurable and is related to the thymus. Once myasthenia gravis recurs, a thymectomy must be performed regardless of age and gender, as it helps control the symptoms of myasthenia gravis. If the condition fluctuates, appropriate hormones, immunosuppressants, plasma exchange, and immunoglobulin treatment should be given based on the fluctuation. Therefore, the treatment is essentially lifelong. The vast majority of patients need to take medication for life to maintain normal function and prevent the condition from progressing further.
