CAUSES AND SYMPTOMS OF PARKINSON DISEASE

Dr. Sita Jayalakshmi, Friday, November 8, 2019

Parkinson’s disease can neither be prevented nor predicted, and is associated with the deterioration of the nerve cells called Neurons. It results in gradual impairment of physical movement associated with loss of balance, trembling of the arms, legs, hands, head and jaw with stiffness in the limbs. Although there are various methods of parkinson’s treatment, which include drugs, herbs and nutrients in diet, physical exercises and other methods of alternative medicine, surgery in some acute cases help in controlling the symptoms. Top class treatment is being provided at KIMS Hospitals, Hyderabad, where, talented and experienced parkinson’s specialists in Hyderabad are available.


Causes

While genetic causes for this disease cannot be ruled out, the main reason is the deterioration of the nerve cells which cause disturbance in smooth communication between different parts of the brain, leading to imbalanced muscle movements. Head trauma, cerebral anoxia and toxins are also factors that cause Parkinson’s disease. The abnormality in functioning of the nerves results in losing the ability to control body movements. At KIMS, parkinson’s specialists are able to diagnose the actual cause of this disease and suggest the best possible method of treatment.


Symptoms

Physical symptoms of Parkinson’s disease differ from person to person and also during the different stages of progress, and are generally experienced during the age period of 50 to 60. Symptoms are generally of two types which are motor and non-motor symptoms. While motor symptoms relate to uncontrollable movement, non-motor symptoms are not related to movement and coordination of physical work.

Motor symptoms include tremor in the arms or legs and begins with one side being affected, and gradually spreading to the lips, chin and facial areas. For proper diagnosis and best advice on the method of treatment for motor symptoms, parkinson’s specialists at KIMS can be the best source. If at all surgery is the only alternative treatment for this disease, parkinson surgery treatment is the best at KIMS Hospitals, where modern infra-structure and availability of top parkinson’s specialists in hyderabad make it a place to depend upon.

Non motor symptoms include loss of sense of smell, constipation, mood disorders, REM behavior disorder and orthostatic hypotension, which is low blood pressure while in a standing position. Other symptoms include sleep disturbances, sexual problems, constipation, bladder problems, excessive saliva, fatigue and loss of energy. There can be skin problems, depression, anxiety and fear and dental and vision problems associated with this disease. When medication with the use of drugs become ineffective, surgery can be a better alternative, and for parkinson surgery treatment, reputed parkinson surgery specialist available at KIMS can be the most dependable medical aid in India. Symptoms of Parkinson’s disease generally go unnoticed during the early stages, but it is advisable to consult parkinson’s specialists at KIMS before the disease assumes big proportions.
