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 such muscle atrophy be treated? Is there a good method because we are afraid of causing the elderly pain?Doctor's answer:
Recently, muscle atrophy has reappeared, primarily considered to be due to lack of attention to exercise or inability to exercise after a brain hemorrhage, combined with insufficient dietary nutrition, leading to disuse muscle atrophy. It is best to have a thorough examination and test at the hospital. In daily life, you can decide to take many qi-tonifying and blood-activating medications. Specific medication should follow medical advice. At the same time, acupuncture and other treatments can also be considered.
