What are the symptoms of progressive muscular dystrophy (PMD)?

Patient's question:

Since a few weeks ago, I have noticed that my limbs have started to become particularly weak, and walking has felt especially exhausting. Later, after undergoing a thorough examination at the hospital, I was diagnosed with progressive muscular dystrophy. Can progressive muscular dystrophy heal on its own?

Doctor's answer:

Progressive muscular dystrophy currently does not have a good treatment method. It is a disease with high difficulty in rescue. The recurrence of the disease is mainly caused by genetic defects. Clinical diagnosis is characterized by slow progressive symmetric muscle weakness and atrophy, which can affect limb and facial muscles, and even some patients may face life-threatening conditions due to breathing difficulties and heart-related diseases.
