Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended checking with the neurology department. Could you please tell me what the symptoms of muscle atrophy are?Doctor's answer:
Muscular atrophy primarily manifests as the gradual loss of muscle, with muscle volume slowly decreasing and some muscle fibers degenerating or even completely disappearing. It is also accompanied by physical fatigue and weakness, making it difficult to walk or engage in physical activity. This is a progressive condition. Due to the inability to walk, prolonged bed rest may be necessary, which can lead to complications such as pneumonia or bedsores.
