Paraplegia refers to a series of syndromes caused by the loss of nerve function below the level of damage on both sides of the spinal cord due to transverse damage, including motor, sensory, autonomic dysfunction, and dysfunctional bowel control.
Paraplegia is mainly caused by spinal cord severance due to trauma, stabbing with bladed objects, clubbing, etc., spinal cord hemorrhage or spinal cord contusion, as well as acute transverse myelitis caused by general viral infection, peripheral neuropathy, spinal cord vascular lesions, spinal cord tumors and other compressive lesions.
Paraplegia will lead to loss of nerve function below the plane of damage, with loss of motor function of both lower limbs, accompanied by varying degrees of sensory impairment of the lower half of the body, muscle atrophy, incontinence or retention of urine and feces, loss of skin sensation and other symptoms.
If spinal cord injury occurs, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time and treat under the guidance of a specialized physician to avoid adverse consequences.
