Patient's question:
Recently, I've experienced muscle atrophy in my legs, making it very difficult to walk and stand. Medication hasn't been very effective. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Muscle atrophy often has different treatment methods depending on its cause:1. Medication Treatment: Many neuromuscular diseases, inflammatory conditions, and myasthenia gravis in neurology require treatment with hormones, autoimmune preparations, and neurotrophic drugs.
2. Rehabilitation Treatment: For many patients with hereditary muscle atrophy, rehabilitation treatments such as physical therapy, massage, and exercise are necessary.
3. Surgical Treatment: For many surgically induced muscle atrophy cases, such as cervical spondylosis-induced muscle atrophy, surgical intervention may be required when the spine is affected.
