Patient's question:
Uncle's legs have been uncomfortable for a long time. He always feels weak, and there's often pain in his knees. The clinic said it might be muscle atrophy. I want to know what the early symptoms of muscle atrophy are.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, it is not necessary to be overly anxious upon discovering this condition; early detection leads to early treatment. The initial onset of this condition is characterized by slow, progressive facial muscle atrophy accompanied by difficulty closing the eyes tightly, inability to pout or whistle, and biceps muscle atrophy, suggesting that a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatments yields good results. A pure Chinese herbal preparation combined with targeted physical instruments is used to treat muscular atrophy. By enhancing collagen production in the epicardial region and the extracellular region, it reduces protein conversion rates, decreases protein degradation rates, promotes muscle cell hypertrophy, alleviates muscle tissue atrophy, and slows down various types of muscle atrophy. At the same time, appropriately adjusting the dietary structure for patients with muscle atrophy is also beneficial for recovery. Early-stage patients should consume a high-protein, vitamin, phospholipid, and trace element-rich diet, and actively cooperate with medicinal diet therapy.
