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. What is muscle atrophy?Doctor's answer:
Generally, there are two common situations that can lead to muscle atrophy. The first situation is having disuse edema, which occurs due to muscle atrophy resulting from prolonged inactivity. The second situation is due to nerve damage and loss of nutrition, leading to muscle atrophy caused by the loss of neurotrophic support. Therefore, you should go to the hospital for a check-up to determine the specific cause of the injury and then receive targeted treatment.
