Patient's question:
I am a patient with muscular dystrophy. Since childhood, I have felt that the condition has been getting worse. Originally, I could walk and even ride a bicycle, but now I need to use crutches to walk. It is very difficult for me to squat down, and my right heel cannot be pressed down, with noticeable swelling in my right calf.Hello, how should I treat this condition?
Doctor's answer:
Progressive muscular dystrophy is a genetic disease, and most of it does not have a good treatment method. Currently, the main treatment is still based on hormone drugs. Although clinical diagnosis now suggests muscle cell grafting or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, the number of cases used for clinical diagnosis is still very limited. It is recommended that you exercise appropriately, maintain proper nutrition, and adopt rehabilitation therapy, massage, and special training to prevent joint contracture. At the same time, try to strengthen exercise and reduce your own immunity.
