Do you know why muscles atrophy?

In recent years, the incidence of muscle atrophy symptoms has been increasing and gradually becoming younger. The reasons are closely related to central nervous system diseases, peripheral neuropathy, muscle diseases, disuse muscle atrophy, etc.

1. Common causes of muscle atrophy are as follows:

1. Central nervous system lesions.

2. Brainstem motor neuron nuclei and anterior horn cell lesions.

3. Peripheral neuropathy.

4. Neuromuscular junction diseases.

5. Muscle disease.

6. Disuse muscular atrophy.

7. Other reasons.

The distribution characteristics of muscle atrophy caused by different reasons also have their own characteristics.

2. Precautions

1. Patients with hip muscle atrophy should avoid forced sexual function training, because forced sexual function training will cause skeletal muscle fatigue, which is not conducive to the recovery of skeletal muscle function, regeneration and repair of muscle cells.

2. For dietary products treating muscular atrophy, generally do not use cooking methods such as frying, baking, and stir-frying, so as to avoid destroying their effective ingredients or changing their properties and losing their effect in treating muscular atrophy. Steaming, boiling, stewing and boiling should be adopted. The purpose of cooking is to make it delicious and tasty while keeping its texture.

3. A high-protein, high-energy diet can provide the substances necessary for the reconstruction of nerve cells and skeletal muscle cells to enhance muscle strength and grow muscle. In the early stage, high-protein foods rich in vitamins, phospholipids and trace elements should be used, and they should be actively combined with a diet such as mountain sedge, coix seed, lotus seed heart, tangerine peel, pseudoginseng, lily, etc. Spicy foods should be avoided, and smoking and drinking should be quit. For patients in the middle and late stages, a high-protein, high-nutrition, energy-rich semi-liquid and liquid diet is the main diet, and small and frequent meals are adopted to maintain the patient's nutrition and water and electrolyte balance.

4. Avoid spicy food, smoking and drinking.

5. The disease can be treated by injecting or taking methylcobalamin orally. Rehabilitation treatment is also carried out at the same time.
