Hello, Thanks for the query. Please tell me on what basis have decided there is atrophy of muscles seen in you? Please tell which particular muscle group are you referring to? Usually muscle atrophy tends to occur if a particular group of muscle is left unused, either due to injury or if itis immobilized or simply one does not use it deliberately. So please do inform. To stop loosing muscle mass regular exercise by using those muscles need to be done. Plus if there is lack of protein intake then that needs to be taken routinely.
