Numbness in women's hands and feet_What disease is it

I believe many people have experienced the phenomenon of limb numbness. It is very common in daily life, especially in winter, when it occurs more frequently. However, frequent numbness in the hands and feet is not necessarily normal. Similar symptoms may occur after many diseases, many of which are quite serious problems. So, what causes numbness in women’s hands and feet? Let’s take a look below.

1. Hypertension: After the blood vessels throughout the body constrict and the blood pressure rises, the small blood vessels spasm and the lumen shrinks, resulting in a decrease in blood supply to the distal muscles of the limbs, peripheral circulation disorders, and a temporary lack of nutrients, which can cause numbness of the limbs, especially the fingers and toes are more sensitive. Numbness may occur in several fingers or toes and may subside after a short period of time, but if it occurs frequently, it may be a precursor to a stroke.

2. Spinal diseases: In the elderly, due to cervical degeneration, bone hyperplasia, and abnormal anatomical position of the cervical spine, bone hyperplasia can compress the adjacent cervical nerve roots, causing numbness of the fingers, or involving the forearm or shoulder. Neck activities can aggravate or alleviate the symptoms. In the film, bone hyperplasia or loss of physiological curvature can be seen.

3. Transient cerebral ischemia: Patients of this type often experience numbness in the hands, feet, upper or lower limbs, unilateral or bilateral, partial or complete, as well as in the face, lips, and tongue. Sometimes you lose your sense of pain or heat or cold but it returns quickly.

4. Intraspinal space-occupying lesions: Some tumors outside the spinal cord can cause numbness of the fingers. If it is a thoracic and lumbar tumor, it will cause numbness of the toes and instep on one side. When you stretch your toes upward, you will feel pain, which can be detected by an MRI.

5. Diabetes: Diabetic patients may experience numbness in their hands and feet, with varying degrees of numbness. The reason is that long-term high blood sugar causes multiple nerve damage. There will be pain in the hands, feet, and fingers, and a burning sensation as if ants are crawling on the skin. This disease is under treatment of the primary disease.
