Patient's question:
My father had a brain hemorrhage two years ago and has been bedridden ever since. He can no longer walk on his own. Now the doctor says he has developed muscle atrophy again and wants to consult a few times. How should this kind of muscle atrophy be treated? Is there a good method because he is afraid of causing the old man pain?Doctor's answer:
Recently, muscle atrophy has reappeared, mainly considered to be due to lack of attention to exercise or inability to exercise after a brain hemorrhage, as well as insufficient dietary nutrition, leading to disuse muscle atrophy. It is best to have a thorough examination and tests at the hospital. In daily life, you can decide to take many qi-tonifying and blood-activating medications. Specific medication should be followed by a doctor's advice. At the same time, acupuncture and other treatments can also be considered.
