Patient's question:
I carefully discovered that I had myasthenia gravis two years ago, and I have been relying on my wife for support these years. So, I feel extremely guilty and also sad that I might infect my wife. Is myasthenia gravis contagious?Doctor's answer:
Myasthenia gravis is a disease of the body's immune system, not an infectious disease. The general symptoms of myasthenia gravis include muscle weakness. If effective treatment is not provided for a long time, it may lead to endocrine disorders and other symptoms in patients. It is recommended to seek timely and effective medical treatment and avoid blind medication.Myasthenia gravis does not have an infectious nature; it is an autoimmune disease. Patients with myasthenia gravis must cooperate with doctors' treatment methods promptly after becoming ill and should not give up on themselves. In daily life, it is also important to enhance nutrition to reduce the body's immunity.
