Patient's question:
My friend's father has muscular dystrophy, but the friend doesn't have this disease. Now the friend is pregnant, and I want to understand how many generations muscular dystrophy can be inherited over?Doctor's answer:
Muscular dystrophy has many types, some of which are inherited across generations, while others are not. Therefore, it is still necessary to have genetic testing done at the hospital for this condition. This is an important method for preventing the disease from being inherited across generations to the next generation. Moreover, there is no specific treatment for this disease, and the only option is to slow down the progression of the condition. It is also important to pay attention to a balanced diet during daily life.
