Finger numbness: alert to four diseases

      Four Diseases Should Be Watched Out for Finger numbness

　　Fingers help us do some things every day, such as work and life. Without them, we can't do many things, so fingers are very important to us. Today, I will show you how to understand finger numbness. We should be alert to four diseases, so that we can see the health of fingers.

　　1. Cervical spondylosis

　　This is the most common disease that causes finger numbness, and it is also one of the diseases of the elderly. In recent years, this disease has a young trend. Because of long-term sedentary, abnormal neck posture, especially the long-term use of computers and mobile phones, the cervical intervertebral disc degenerates, leading to the protrusion of the intervertebral disc or the hyperplasia or hypertrophy of the articular process. When these protrusions of the cervical intervertebral disc or the articular process proliferate, when they compress the adjacent cervical nerve roots, they will lead to finger numbness.

　　In addition to abnormal peripheral nerve sensation, there are also other symptoms, such as neck and shoulder muscle pain, upper limb radiation pain or mobility inconvenience.

　　Lateral anteroposterior X-ray examination of cervical spine is helpful to diagnose such diseases.

　　2. Transient cerebral ischemia

　　This is also a common cause of finger numbness, which often occurs in the elderly, especially when one side of the body is numb.

　　The disease usually occurs suddenly and lasts for a short time, often accompanied by weakness of limbs, dizziness, headache and other symptoms.

　　The causes and mechanisms of transient ischemic attack are the fall off of microemboli in cerebral artery wall, the decrease of blood pressure caused by cerebral artery stenosis and cerebral vasospasm.

　　If the above symptoms occur, you should go to the hospital in time to comprehensively screen the risk factors of head vascular disease, such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia, ventricular fibrillation, etc., and give active prevention and treatment.

　　3. Diabetes

　　Bilateral symmetrical finger numbness is a common symptom of diabetic peripheral neuropathy.

　　Epidemiology shows that the prevalence of diabetes among Chinese residents has reached 9.7%, with a total amount of nearly 100 million.

　　Many diabetic patients' blood sugar can not be effectively controlled, and many complications have occurred in the early stage of the disease.

　　Therefore, after suffering from diabetes, we must carry out regular and reasonable treatment, control the blood sugar within the normal range, and pay attention to the supplementation of multiple vitamins.

　　Also with the application of drugs, improve blood circulation, finger numbness will be eliminated.

　　4. Peripheral neuritis

　　Finger numbness with pain and weakness, and bilateral symmetry, warning that you may suffer from peripheral neuritis, caused by a variety of reasons.

　　The clinical manifestations are slightly different.

　　If it is caused by poisoning, the pain is more serious; If it is caused by nutrient metabolism disorder, its weakness and numbness are more obvious.

　　Generally speaking, the disease progresses slowly and recovery is difficult.

　　If the finger stings, it is better to find a doctor to diagnose the specific cause and treat symptomatically, so as not to delay the best treatment time.
