What are the reasons for ptosis in myasthenia gravis?

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I go to the neurology department for a check-up. Could you please tell me what are the causes of eyelid drooping in myasthenia gravis?

Doctor's answer:

The cause of myasthenia gravis is a reduction in the production of a single ester enzyme, leading to abnormal transmission of neurotransmitters in the neuromuscular junction, rather than muscle relaxation due to age, which causes drooping eyelids. It is recommended to seek regular medical treatment in a hospital. If myasthenia gravis progresses severely, it may lead to dangerous symptoms such as difficulty swallowing and incontinence of urine and feces. Actively participate in physical exercise to regulate physical and mental health.
