Did You Know? Muscle Degeneration: Don't Ignore 8 Early Symptoms!

What is muscular dystrophy? This serious health condition leads to progressive damage and a loss of muscle cells in your body. It includes over 150 types of degenerative muscle diseases. Almost all of them begin with some mild symptoms that, if left unnoticed, slowly progress with time. We're gonna tell you about 8 main symptoms of muscular dystrophy.

SUMMARY: - If you have problems when rising from a chair, brushing your hair, lifting an object, or you constantly drop things to the floor, you might suffer from muscular dystrophy. - Enlarged calf muscles may be one of the signs of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. This disease usually occurs at an early age in boys and worsens very quickly. - If your muscles are not strong enough to hold your spine straight, you may suffer from poor posture. Over time, this can lead to scoliosis. With this condition, the spine curves either to the left or right side, which causes the internal organs to change their position. - Weak chest muscles make it difficult for you to cough, leading to an increased risk of serious respiratory infections. If not treated properly, a simple cold can quickly progress to pneumonia. - If a person has eating problems such as being unable to chew food or swallow it, coughing, choking, or a muffled voice after they’ve eaten, these may be the first signs of Kennedy's disease. - In several forms of muscular dystrophy, progressive changes in the functioning of the heart may occur. These changes are called cardiomyopathy. If a person has this problem, the muscles of their heart are affected. - In addition to muscle wasting, people who have myotonic dystrophy often suffer from various eye problems. These problems include weakness in the eye muscles, weepy eyes, low eye pressure, and cataracts. - Some men with myotonic dystrophy also go through hormonal changes. Such a hormonal imbalance typically causes early balding in the front part of a man's scalp, and this often develops during their 20s or 30s. - Although there is no actual cure for muscular degeneration, you can still do some simple things to keep your muscles strong and healthy.
