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 how long the life expectancy is for Duchenne muscular dystrophy?Doctor's answer:
Now the baby suffers from Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. It is a genetic disease originating from muscle. Generally, it is caused by muscle fiber expansion and atrophy due to long-term cerebral edema or long-term abrupt and uncontrollable contractions of the muscle. The most obvious clinical diagnostic symptom is abnormal gait in patients, where they walk unsteadily, like ducks walking. Rehabilitation is based on exercise, which generally does not affect lifespan.
