How to tell if you have muscular dystrophy

It is not possible to judge whether it is muscular dystrophy or not by oneself, but can be judged by professional doctors through clinical manifestations, laboratory tests and auxiliary tests to determine whether it is muscular dystrophy or not. 1. Clinical manifestations: patients with muscular dystrophy may experience eye weakness during the course of the disease. When the symptoms are mild, there will be abnormal eye movement function characterized by ptosis and asymmetry of the upper eyelids. When the patient opens his eyes, he usually feels weak with strabismus and diplopia. 2. Laboratory tests: These tests mainly include routine blood tests, biochemical tests and routine urine tests, which can provide a more preliminary understanding of the patient’s physical condition. These tests can determine whether there is any abnormality in kidney function and liver function, and determine whether there is muscle atrophy. 3. Auxiliary examination: such as electromyography, mainly to determine whether there is any abnormality in the function of neuromuscular system. Ultrasound or magnetic resonance examination can be used to determine whether there are pathological changes in muscle fibers, and through these examinations to determine whether you have muscle atrophy. When the symptoms related to muscle atrophy appear, you should seek medical treatment in time, and be judged and treated by professional doctors.
