What is Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and how does it affect the body? - #14730
I recently heard about Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and I’m trying to understand more about how it affects the muscles. I know it’s a genetic disorder, but I don’t know exactly how it progresses or what causes it. What exactly is Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and how does it impact muscle function over time? I read that it’s caused by a lack of a specific protein—how does this affect the muscles, and why is it more common in boys? Also, how does the condition progress, and what age do symptoms typically start to appear? I also want to understand how Duchenne muscular dystrophy is managed. Are there treatments that can slow down the muscle weakening, or is it a condition that worsens with age? Are there any natural or alternative therapies that help improve quality of life? If anyone has experience with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, what treatments have been effective in managing the symptoms? How did you support muscle function and mobility over time?
