Patient's question:
My daughter is 4 years old. Recently, I discovered that she has muscular dystrophy. Her muscular dystrophy is inherited from her grandfather. Her father feels very guilty about it. Doctor, how should my daughter exercise with muscular dystrophy? Can she completely recover to be like a normal person?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Muscular dystrophy is a genetic disease. Rehabilitation exercises can have a certain effect on the recovery of the disease, such as physical exercise, local massage, promoting blood circulation, and preventing further muscle expansion. Exercises should be done according to your physical condition, gradually increasing the intensity, and it is absolutely not advisable to overexert yourself. Pay attention to preventing rain, dampness, cold, and upper respiratory infections. Always maintain an optimistic attitude and build confidence in fighting the disease. Eat a light diet, avoid constipation, spicy, stimulating, and greasy foods. Properly balance your diet to ensure it is rich in nutrients, especially protein.
