Disease Explanation

thumbnail.sv

Parkinson's disease: Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative ailment marked by the loss of brain neurons that produce dopamine, which causes tremors, stiffness, bradykinesia (slow movement), and instability in one's posture. As these symptoms increase over time, they significantly impair mobility and quality of life and frequently necessitate long-term medical supervision and care. Dystonia: Involuntary muscular spasms brought on by dystonia are a movement disease that can result in repetitive motions or strange postures. These spasms can damage any area of the body, resulting in severe pain, discomfort, and functional impairment that affects everyday activities and general health.
