Patient's question:
My mother-in-law had a stroke last year and collapsed in bed. She hasn't been able to walk on her own for a year. Recently, I've noticed her condition is getting worse. She frequently experiences urinary incontinence. When we took her to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said she had myasthenia gravis. I'd like to consult about where to treat myasthenia gravis effectively and quickly. Are there any recommended hospitals?Doctor's answer:
For the treatment of myasthenia gravis, the first choice is medication. Medications can include cholinesterase inhibitors, immunosuppressants, plasma exchange, intravenous immunoglobulin, and traditional Chinese medicine treatment. If the patient has thymic abnormalities, thymectomy can be performed. The choice of hospital should be based on the family's financial capacity. The best option, of course, is to choose a top-tier comprehensive hospital such as a Grade III-A hospital.
