The symptoms of both paralysis patients and impotence patients are dominated by muscle numbness. If paralysis develops to a certain degree, it can be transformed into impotence. The difference between paralysis and impotence is as follows: 1. Symptoms: The main symptom of a patient with paralysis is numbness of the limbs, but strong. The main symptom of patients with impotence is muscle atrophy and weakness. 2. Prognosis: Most patients with paralysis have a slightly better prognosis, with no significant effect on walking and life functions. Patients with impotence may have symptoms of paralysis, with obvious effects on life functions.
