Patient's question:
I have always been on the thin side since I was a child. My parents bought various nutritional supplements for me, but I still remained very thin after eating them. Additionally, my hair was often very yellow, and my nails frequently had many white spots. When I went to the doctor, they said it was nothing, just due to hereditary traits across generations. Can congenital muscular dystrophy be cured?Doctor's answer:
Congenital muscular dystrophy is a genetic disease caused by genetic defects, which currently cannot be cured. There is currently a lack of effective treatment methods for this disease, and the treatment is based on encouragement and symptomatic treatment. Active encouragement and treatment can maximize the maintenance of muscle function and slow down or correct skeletal deformities. For skeletal deformities that have already occurred and affect limb function, surgical correction can be performed. Symptomatic treatment measures include mechanical ventilation, eye protection, and control of seizures, among others.
