Muscle loss (atrophy) occurs when muscles shrink due to lack of use. This can happen from injury, illness, aging, or not exercising enough. Key causes include not using muscles, poor nutrition, hormonal changes, and diseases.
Muscle loss symptoms include feeling weak, getting tired more easily, losing muscle bulk, and reduced ability to do daily activities. Key prevention tips include strength training, getting enough protein, staying active, and treating underlying causes if illness-related.
Speaking to a doctor can help diagnose causes and provide personalized treatment plans, which may include exercise, diet changes, physical therapy, or medication. Catching and addressing muscle loss early is important to help maintain strength and mobility.
