What causes hip muscle atrophy?

There are generally many factors causing hip muscle atrophy, including genetic factors, neuropathy, trauma and other diseases. The specific factors need to be judged based on the individual's condition.

1. Genetic factors: Hip muscle atrophy may be caused by Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a hereditary disease. The disease is relatively rare and there is no better treatment option. When the muscles gradually worsen, the patient may die.

2. Neuropathy: After muscle atrophy, it is mainly due to lesions in the nerves of the body, which is usually caused by factors such as polio and cerebral infarction. It will lead to abnormal conduction of nerve signals, thereby causing the disuse of some muscle fibers and reducing one's own motor ability.

3. Trauma: A hip fracture may be caused by an accidental fracture during work or exercise. The fracture will cause atrophy of the muscles in the affected area. This is mainly due to long-term immobilization of the affected limb, which leads to disuse muscle atrophy.

4. Other diseases: Usually due to cervical spondylosis and lumbar disc herniation, the nerves are compressed. When the nerves are not adequately nourished, local muscles will atrophy.
