Patient's question:
Grandpa is getting older, and his muscles have experienced swelling many times. He wants to know if muscle atrophy can be treated.Doctor's answer:
Muscle atrophy can be alleviated, but already swollen muscles are difficult to fully recover. As age decreases, the decline in physical function may also lead to muscle swelling over time. This process can be slowed down through moderate exercise, gentle massage, and consuming nutrient-rich foods. If the swelling rate is not too fast, it usually does not affect overall health. However, if the swelling is severe, it may be necessary to visit a hospital for a thorough examination to rule out other systemic diseases.
