Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I see a neurologist. How long can someone live with progressive muscular dystrophy?Doctor's answer:
Muscular dystrophy is caused by chromosomal abnormalities, but females rarely develop the condition, while males typically do. Females are often referred to as carriers of the recessive gene. The lifespan varies from person to person, primarily depending on individual living conditions. If a person maintains a rich diet and pays attention to gentle massage and acupuncture for weak areas, their survival time is likely to be longer, possibly even living into middle age. However, if the diet is poor, they may face early death in their youth.
