Numbness of the fingers may not seem to be a big problem to ordinary people, but for the person concerned, it is actually a very uncomfortable thing, and even sometimes, the patient will not be able to sleep because of the numbness of the fingers.

Numbness of the fingers is a loss or abnormality of sensory function in the fingers, which may be accompanied by motor dysfunction. It can sometimes be caused by exertion, but it can also be a symptom of certain diseases, commonly caused by nerve involvement, but also vascular disease.

Let's look at the nerve distribution in the fingers?

The sensory nerves of our fingers are divided into nerve roots from the cervical spinal cord, which form the brachial plexus in the cervical axilla, and then the radial, median, and ulnar nerves are divided into unperipheral nerves distributed to the hand and fingers through the upper arm and forearm.

Ulnar nerve damage.It can cause numbness and pain in the ipsilateral little finger and ring finger, and impaired mobility of some fingers. The ulnar nerve groove at the back of the elbow is more susceptible to injury or compression.

median nerve damage:: The median nerve of the forearm and upper arm causes numbness and pain on the palmar surface, thumb, forefinger, and middle finger due to trauma, tumor, and compression. In the wrist is most vulnerable to injury or pressure, called carpal tunnel syndrome, the treatment principle is the same as before.

Radial nerve damage.The radial nerve is more susceptible to injury at the middle and lower portions of the lateral aspect of the upper arm, with numbness and pain on the back of the thumb and index finger and drooping of the fingers and wrist.

So if there is damage or compression of the nerves from the cervical spinal cord all the way to the fingers, it can cause numbness in the fingers.

Let's look at what causes numbness in the fingers.

First, cervical spondylosis

Degeneration of the cervical spine or herniation of the cervical keyboard can compress the nerve roots or spinal cord, which can cause numbness and pain in the fingers, and sometimes motor function is also affected.

Second, elbow-tube syndrome

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is primarily a condition that occurs when the ulnar nerve is compressed as it passes through the ulnar nerve groove at the elbow. It manifests as numbness in the little finger, half of the ring finger, and the palm and back of the hand that corresponds to it.

Compression is mostly caused by poor posture, but can also be caused by lesions that cause compression of the surrounding tissues.

Third, carpal tunnel syndrome

Most of them have a history of carpal tunnel strain damage, which is a symptom of pain and numbness in the index and middle fingers and a feeling of weakness in the muscles of the thumb caused by compression of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel.

Numbness of the hand is triggered by compression of the nerves running from the forearm to the palm of the hand in the wrist area, accompanied by pain, burning, tingling and other discomforts, sometimes accompanied by weakness of the hand.

Fourth, Raynaud's disease

Raynaud's disease refers to paroxysmal spasms of the arteries in the extremities caused by constriction of the vascular arteries, usually triggered by cold weather or stress.

Reduced blood flow due to constriction of the arteries results in cold, numb fingers. Swelling occurs when blood circulation returns to normal when the temperature warms up or the pressure disappears. This condition is more common, occurring more often in women than in men.

Fifth, osteoarthritis of the hand joints

The disease is mainly characterized by pain or swelling in the fingers, but can also show symptoms of numbness. It mostly occurs in the terminal joints of the fingers, and can also occur in the joints between the fingers. Often have morning joint stiffness performance, usually short duration, mostly in ten minutes to get better.

Sixth, caused by cerebrovascular disease

The elderly, in particular, need to be alert to the occurrence of cerebrovascular disease, especially when there is numbness in one arm, or only in the fingers, accompanied by weakness in this side of the limb.

Seventh, diabetic neuropathy

Some people with diabetes, who develop complications of neuropathy, experience numbness or other sensory abnormalities in their fingers. However, diabetic neuropathy is more common in the feet and legs and sometimes occurs in the fingers.

Eighth, hypothyroidism causing peripheral neuropathy

Unusual numbness, burning or pain at the ends of the extremities is common, and there may be glove-glove sock-type hyperalgesia, decreased muscle strength, and decreased or absent tendon reflexes.

Ninth, others.

In addition, high blood lipids, high coagulation state such as cardiovascular patients, due to the slowing of blood flow can appear finger swelling often accompanied by numbness.

To summarize, there are many aspects that cause numbness in the hands, and the occurrence of numbness in the fingers requires active search for the cause and symptomatic treatment.

What can I do on a daily basis if I experience numbness in my fingers?

The first step is to actively look for the cause, if diabetes causes, actively control blood sugar, hypothyroidism when you need to actively take medication.

Life should try to avoid all factors that may cause peripheral vasoconstriction, mainly including smoking, strenuous exercise, psychological stress, emotional excitement, rapid changes in ambient temperature and so on.

You should pay attention to your working and sleeping postures to avoid prolonged neck flexion. Also pay attention to the posture when sitting or lying down, avoid elbow support upper body weight.

In summary, the occurrence of numbness in the fingers may be caused by many diseases, and you need to find out the cause in time. Daily do a good job of prevention.

Fingertip numbness, beware that it is these diseases that are looking for you!

As a passer-by with numb fingers, I understand the subject's feelings. Every time an attack occurs, it feels like the fingers or even the whole hand is not your own, the whole person is bad, and work and life are seriously disturbed.

Numbness of the fingers, in other words, abnormal sensory nerves. Finger tip numbness in the end how, look at the finger sensory nerve "ins and outs" to know.

cervical spinal cordDivide the nerve roots and form them in the neckbrachial plexus (anatomy)subdivideRadial nerve, median nerve, ulnar nerveThe meridian passes equidistantly through the upper arm and forearm, and finally becomes theperipheral nerveDistributed to the hand and fingers. Therefore, numbness in the tips of the fingers is invariably a problem with these nerves above.

Common neurologic lesions of numbness in fingertips

1. Peripheral neuritis

The peripheral nerves of the fingers have been damaged byPoisoning, infection, vitamin B deficiency, impaired blood supply to fingersThe inflammatory reaction is caused by other reasons, which in turn produces numbness and pain in the fingers, and as the condition worsens it is accompanied by glove-like and sock-like hyperalgesia and sensory abnormalities.

Most of them occur in both hands and fingers at the same time, and can be recovered after the cause is removed, and can be treated with oral or injected vitamin B1, acupuncture, etc. to promote recovery.

In addition, abnormal sensations caused by peripheral neuritis need to be considered whether the patient has adiabetes, for example, whether they have been taking nerve-damaging drugs for a long time.

2. Radial, median and ulnar nerve damage

The radial nerve at the middle and lower portions of the lateral aspect of the upper arm is affected by theCompression, trauma or tumorsetc., can lead toNumbness and pain on the back of the thumb and index finger and drooping of the fingers and wrist. Damage to the median nerve then causesNumbness and pain in the palm surface, thumb, index and middle fingersThe Damage to the ulnar nerve then results inNumbness and pain in the ipsilateral little and ring fingers and impaired mobility of some fingers.

Numbness of the fingertips due to the above nerve damage.Most will gradually recover about six months after the injuryHowever, if there is a tumor, a complete break, or severe compression, surgery is often required.

3. Brachial nerve damage

The axillary or anterior cervical region is highly susceptible to lesions or damage, and a mixture of total or partial damage to the ulnar, median, and flexor nerves may be present. The principles of treatment are the same as before.

4. Cervical spondylosis

Cervical vertebrae hypertrophy and hyperplasia, cervical disc degeneration and herniation can compress the cervical nerve root or cervical medulla, triggering numbness and pain in the fingers unilaterally or bilaterally, which gradually develops to the upper arm and forearm, and even leads to impaired mobility of the upper limbs.

如middle-aged and elderly peoplePresence of numbness in the tips of the fingers, especiallyAggravated at night while sleeping, mostly caused by cervical spondylosis. Because of the prevalence of middle-aged and elderlyosteophyteIn the case of cervical spondylosis, the cervical nerves are subjected to compressive stimulation by the enlarged bones at night while sleeping, which in turn causes the corresponding symptoms.

Fingertip numbness due to cervical spondylosis is most often presented ascontinue to have seizuresstatus, it is recommended to performCervical spine X-ray, cervical spine MRI, etc.Examination to further define the cause.

Besides neuropathy, what else can cause numbness in the fingertips? Doctors warn: beware of these four conditions!

1. Overuse

In fact, the numbness of the finger tips does not necessarily mean that the body has some diseases, some simply just overuse of the fingers caused. Overuse tends to fatigue the fingertips, and thus a certain numbness. For example, a long time using the keyboard to type or play the piano, will appear this situation.

Therefore, when we use our fingers in daily life, we should pay attention to the "work and rest", to give the fingers a little rest time.

2. Stress, overwork

Mostly seen in young patients, finger tip numbness is mostly presentIncidental seizures.It is associated with factors such as excessive mental stress, exertion, and poor rest. The numbness disappears after the unfavorable factors are eliminated and rarely recurs.

3. Female menopause

Don't worry about it yet, it is a normal physiological phenomenon for women to feel numbness in the tips of their fingers during menopause. It is caused by hormonal fluctuations in the body, and generally does not require excessive treatment.

Panther suggested:You must relax during menopause, go outdoors more often, and your fingertip problems will be solved when you are in a good mood.

4. Pregnancy

Women can feel numbness in their fingertips during pregnancy because pregnancy causes the abdomen to grow larger, and with that growth comes a certain amount of pressure, which can lead to a lack of blood supply to the extremities, resulting in numbness in the fingertips.

Panther suggested:It's best to be able to move around as much as you can while keeping the fetus safe.

Many people, numbness and wood can not be distinguished too clearly, I will first popularize what is the feeling of numbness, what is the feeling of wood, and then analyze the possibility of hand numbness.

What is hemp?

Finger tip numbness, you can use your thumb, scrape the numb finger finger, if there is a pinprick feeling, it means that the finger is numb.

What is wood?

The feeling of wood is that when you touch an object with your hand, it feels difficult to convey the feeling that the object corresponds to, a dull, compartmentalized feeling!

Why are the tips of your fingers numb?

Numbness in the tips of the fingers, first look at the location of the numbness, is it all over both hands? Does it feel symmetrical? Or are certain fingers numb, the considerations are different!

1. Numbness of all finger tips, symmetrical on both hands, may be diabetes or peripheral neuritis, etc.

2. With unilateral localized numbness, there are more disorders to consider, such as ulnar, radial, and median nerve injuries, thoracic outlet syndrome, cervical spondylosis, and other factors.

What about numbness in the tips of the fingers?

We first need to determine what is causing the numbness before we can take the appropriate program. Even with the same disease, the stimulation of the numbness area is different!

For example, cervical spondylosis, is it caused by a herniated cervical disc compressing a nerve? Or is it caused by scarring and adhesions in the neck that cause the cervical plexus to be affected?

It is recommended to go to the hospital for a long time, it is better to go to the hospital, the numbness of the fingertips also affects the quality of life! Early treatment, do not blindly only symptomatic relief of numbness!

When it comes to this feeling of numbness in the tips of the fingers, it should be said that many people have had similar feelings. Prompt what disease? Today, Dr. Zhang will give you a talk about this issue.

Objectively speaking, numbness of the fingertips should be said to be a relatively common abnormal sensory symptoms of the human body, but this symptom does not have an obvious disease pointing, more commonly known as many diseases may have a numbness of the fingertips. Here we put a few possibilities to give you a preliminary science.

1. Cervical spondylosis

For some types of cervical spondylosis patients, numbness of the finger tips is one of the possible symptoms, but patients with cervical spondylosis, besides numbness of the fingers, may also be accompanied by other symptoms, such as weakness of the upper and lower limbs, pain in the back of the neck, difficulty in walking, ringing in the ears, heaviness in the neck, dizziness, nausea and other symptoms. It is not difficult to diagnose cervical spondylosis, go to the orthopedic department to improve some radiological examination, you may get a clear diagnosis.

2. Diabetes

It is well known that diabetic patients with poor long-term glycemic control are likely to suffer from peripheral neuropathy, which in turn is likely to cause numbness in the fingertips. Therefore, for some diabetic patients or patients with poor glycemic control, it is recommended to consider the possibility of diabetic peripheral neuropathy if the sensation of numbness in the fingertips occurs.

3. Nerve damage

When it comes to nerve injury, it should be said that trauma, tumor, carpal tunnel syndrome may lead to nerve injury, especially the median nerve, ulnar nerve, radial nerve damage, may lead to numbness of the fingers, or even pain. Carpal tunnel syndrome, for example, the main reason for its formation is the improper use of the wrist for a long time, leading to the patient's wrist median nerve is compressed, this kind of patients will appear on the thumb side of the three fingers of numbness, or even pain.

4. Cerebrovascular disease

For some patients with cerebrovascular disease, numbness in the fingers may also occur, whether it is a precursor symptom of stroke or a symptom after it has already occurred, it should be said that for people at high risk of cerebrovascular disease, numbness in the fingers is one of the symptoms that should be paid special attention to. However, it should be pointed out that the numbness of the fingers brought about by cerebrovascular disease is often accompanied by other symptoms, and it is not common to see the numbness of the fingers as an isolated symptom.

5. Peripheral neuropathy

In fact, in addition to diabetes can lead to peripheral neuropathy, some other diseases can also lead to peripheral neuropathy, such as long-term digestive disorders resulting in absorption disorders, some causes of malnutrition, resulting in certain vitamin deficiencies can also lead to patients with numbness in the fingers.

In fact, in addition to these diseases mentioned above, there are many other diseases can also bring the feeling of numbness in the fingers. Therefore, if specific to each person, in the end the numbness of the fingers suggests what disease, it is recommended that you can first go to the regular hospital to check, clear diagnosis and then consider according to the specific disease to carry out targeted examination. You say is not this reason?

Outpatient medical treatment, because the tip of the finger numbness to the medical treatment of many patients, the emergence of numbness of the fingers for a number of reasons, which is mainly considered for the local blood circulation is poor, unable to supply the demand of peripheral circulation, so that the local ischemia, hypoxia, will cause numbness of the limbs symptoms. So, why do people have numbness of the fingers? What are the causes of finger numbness? What should we do after the finger numbness? Today, Dr. Fresh is here to have a good chat with you about these issues of concern, so that you can remember to collect.

What are some of the other diseases that can cause numbness in the fingers?

First, cerebrovascular disease, for cerebrovascular disease caused by numbness of the fingers, if ischemic cerebrovascular disease, can be given to the patient to improve the circulation as well as nutritional neurological treatment, generally can be given to the patient ginkgo biloba preparation or methylcobalamin. If the acute stage of cerebrovascular disease, you can also give acupuncture or herbal iontophoresis treatment.

Neuropathy:Damage to the ulnar and cerebral nerves can cause numbness and weakness in the corresponding finger innervation areas.

Thirdly, polyneuropathy, diabetes mellitus and poisons from drugs can cause chronic damage to the nerves, causing numbness at the ends of the fingers of both hands.

Third, carpal tunnel syndrome, in which the carpal tunnel is compressed causing damage to the nerves that pass through the carpal tunnel, thus causing numbness as well as pain in the fingers.

IV. Cervical spondylosis cervical spondylosis

If the cervical spondylosis compression caused by the right hand numbness, cervical spondylosis caused by nerve compression symptoms, it is recommended to give physiotherapy massage massage, and prohibited from engaging in long hours of work in front of the computer, driving, etc., and there is a situation that is to go to the hospital to perform a blood pressure test there is no high blood pressure, there is no headache and dizziness.

What should I do if I experience numbness in the tips of my fingers?

Tingling of the finger tips is mostly considered to be caused by peripheral neuritis. Once the above manifestations occur, theThen neurotrophic medications can be given, such as oral vitamin B1, methylcobalamin, and other drugs, and also by taking B vitaminsAll are effective in relieving the numbness between the fingers. And in the symptomatic disposal at the same time, is sure to actively search for the cause of the disease. Go to the regular hospital, find out the specific cause of the disease, timely symptomatic treatment.

What do I need to be aware of when I experience numbness in my fingers?

First, we should pay more attention to keep warm in daily life, avoid getting cold, avoid excessive weight-bearing activities in the hand area, so as not to lead to numbness of the fingers aggravate the situation.

Second, after the finger numbness, must promptly consult the doctor, specifically to check what causes. Finger numbness is mostly seen in cervical spondylosis, or carpal tunnel syndrome, as well as nerve damage in the finger area, or finger neuritis. After identifying the cause of the disease, the cause of the disease, treatment to alleviate the symptoms of numbness of the fingers.

Third, after the appearance of numbness of the fingers, can be in the specific finger numbness parts of the temporary hot compresses, physiotherapy, acupuncture, with the blood circulation of drugs and neurotrophic drugs to relieve the symptoms.

After experiencing numbness in the fingertips, what conditions require prompt medical attention?

In general, temporary numbness in the fingers does not require medical attention, but persistent, recurrent episodes, especially when accompanied by other manifestations, such as pain and loss of strength, require prompt medical attention.

When numbness in the fingers occurs, which department should be consulted?

Different causes of hand numbness, you should go to the appropriate department for consultation, as follows, I summarize it here, so that you can collect and remember.

• If you have a history of diabetes with numbness or other sensory abnormalities at the ends of your limbs, you should go to theNeurology, EndocrinologyAttendance;

• If caused by trauma, upper extremity compression or prolonged upper extremity physical labor, or if cervical spondylosis is suspected, you should go to theorthopedic surgeryAttendance;

• Those with a history of atrial fibrillation, heart valve disease with mechanical valve replacement, and sudden onset of numbness of the fingers and distension of the upper extremities should go to thevascular surgeryAttendance;

• If the swelling and numbness of the hands occurs for the cold or after emotional stress, go to thedermatologicalDisease Section.

And there are some special cases.If, after trauma or surgery, there is numbness in the fingers, accompanied by progressively increasing severe pain in that limb, slightly reddened skin in the affected area, elevated temperature, and swelling, emergency medical attention should be sought because the presentation is highly suspicious of a serious post-traumatic complication - theOsteofascial compartment syndrome, which can lead to necrosis of muscles and nerves，The consequences are serious and must be treated as soon as possible.

I am Dr. Fresh of the Department of Emergency Medicine, with easy-to-understand language, from time to time for you to share the health knowledge of common diseases, to do your side of the health assistant, if you feel that the writing is not bad, beneficial to you, click a like, forward to your side with the same needs of the people, so that more people to benefit from it.

Numb hands are the hardest thing to fix.

Numbness is a nerve sensation, so there must be an abnormality in the nerve.

Anything from the tips of your fingers to the palms of your hands to your forearms to your elbows to your shoulders to your neck and even to your head can cause numbness in the tips of your fingers.

In the absence of obvious trauma, let's look at what's possible from the bottom up.

First is diabetes.

In diabetes, the blood sugar is not controlled within the normal range, the body is in the sugar water for a long time, the nerves and blood vessels are abnormal. Especially on the small blood vessels, affecting the blood supply, the peripheral nerves at the fingers will not be able to get effective nutrition, there is degeneration, abnormal. In this case, generally numbness progresses, at first a little numbness, feel like wearing a glove like, later on there is pain. And generally hands and feet are numb.

The second is a jammed nerve.

The fingers of the hand are innervated by different nerves.

The thumb, index finger, and half of the middle finger are innervated by the median nerve.

The little finger, ring finger, and the other half of the middle finger are innervated by the ulnar nerve.

Numbness of the fingers can occur when these two nerves are compressed.

The most common is nerve entrapment in the wrist because there is a ligament like a bracelet in the wrist that binds the nerves and blood vessels of the wrist. If the binding is too tight, entrapment occurs, usually due to long-term friction of the nerves, ligaments, and tendons, which causes inflammation and edema, and thus extrusion occurs and the nerves are entrapped.

If the entrapment is on the median nerve, called carpal tunnel syndrome, numbness of the three fingers on the side of the thumb, or even muscle atrophy of the palmar surface on the side of the thumb, can occur.

If the entrapment is on the ulnar nerve, it is called ulnar nerve entrapment at the wrist, which usually involves numbness on the palmar surface of the three fingers on the side of the little finger, and even muscle atrophy on the palmar surface on the side of the little finger.

There are also points of entrapment for the median nerve, on the inside of the forearm, near the wrist. It is called anterior interosseous nerve entrapment; and at the elbow, it is entrapped by the pronator teres muscle, called pronator teres syndrome.

The compression point of the ulnar nerve is also, at the elbow, called elbow canal syndrome.

In addition, both the median nerve and the ulnar nerve are formed by nerves that have branched off from the spinal cord in the neck. Therefore, during the period when the cervical nerve comes out and divides into the ulnar nerve and median nerve, if there is a compression, numbness of the fingers will also appear, and this kind of numbness is usually accompanied by numbness of the arm and other places, not just numbness of the fingers, and the most common point of compression is in the position of the anterior and middle diagonal muscles of the neck, which is called the thoracic outlet syndrome.

Cervical spondylosis, osteophytes, herniated discs, etc., are prone to jamming the nerve roots that branch out from the spinal cord, and if they are jammed, hand numbness can also occur, and hand numbness manifests itself in a similar way to thoracic outlet syndrome. But this condition caused by hand numbness, there will be more obvious cervical spine discomfort, stiffness, pain, limited activity.

In the end it's all about managing fingers that feel like there's something wrong with the brain.

There's a sensory center in the brain, which is the location of the posterior gyrus in the center of the brain if there's a problem, that means it's a sure thing.

The main problems are tiny cerebral infarcts, tumor compression, intracranial vascular malformation compression, etc. This can be ruled out with an MRI.

Given that the subject only talks about numbness in the fingers and nothing else, I'm assuming that there are no other symptoms evident.

If it's simply numbness in the fingers, it's recommended that you test your blood sugar to see if diabetes is causing it; and then look to see if there's any jamming in the wrist. These two conditions have the highest probability.

Test for carpal tunnel syndrome. You can bend your wrist and squeeze the back of your hand against the back of your hand, and if it's more numb, you basically have a jammed wrist.

Well, this I my understanding of some of the instructions, I hope to help you, science articles, not easy to spread, look forward to everyone forward, praise, attention, if you have any questions, you can leave a message in the comments section.

There are several main causes of finger numbness.

Transient cerebral ischemia is a common cause of numbness in the fingers, which occurs in the elderly, and should be considered especially when there is numbness on one side of the limb. The causes and pathogenesis of transient cerebral ischemia are microembolism of cerebral artery wall, blood pressure drop on the basis of cerebral artery stenosis, and cerebral vasospasm, etc. If you have the above symptoms, you should go to the hospital promptly for a comprehensive consultation. If the above symptoms occur, you should go to the hospital in time for a comprehensive screening of risk factors for cerebrovascular disease, such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia, atrial fibrillation, etc., and be given active prevention and treatment.

② Common diseases that cause numbness in the fingers also include cervical spondylosis.

When patients have cervical spine problems, the compressed brachial plexus nerves will lead to hand numbness and hand pain, which will seriously trigger insufficient cerebral blood supply and dizziness and nausea. Hand numbness caused by cervical spondylosis is mainly manifested as unilateral numbness, such as numbness of the thumb and index finger, or numbness of the little finger and ring finger, and the patient will experience inflexibility of the fingers, such as difficulty in tying buttons and holding chopsticks. The manifestation of cervical spondylosis, in addition to numbness of the fingers, will be accompanied by neck and shoulder muscle pain, upper extremity radiating pain and other symptoms. Therefore, when the symptoms of unilateral hand numbness occur, we should be alert to whether it is cervical spondylosis.

③ Peripheral neuritis

If the numbness of the fingers with pain and weakness, bilateral symmetrical occurrence, suggests that may have peripheral neuritis, can be caused by a variety of reasons. The elderly if long-term digestion and absorption function is poor, malnutrition, can cause vitamin B deficiency to peripheral neuritis, causing numbness of the fingers. There are some hand numbness in life is produced by the hand blood circulation is not smooth and lead to, which often pillow hand to sleep, lifting heavy objects, etc. are caused by the main factors of arm numbness, so in the daily play try to avoid doing so.

It's common to encounter people in everyday life whoNumbness and discomfort in the tips of the fingersThe situation, because this situation in addition to numbness has no other symptoms of the body, we will not go to the doctor because of the numbness of the fingertips. Fingertip numbness do not only think is sleeping, arm for a long time by the pressure caused by the hand tip numbness is because of pressure caused by the blood does not circulate, fingertip numbness is actually the same as a toothache, numbness is a very impact on the life and work.

So what's wrong with numb finger tips?

• Excessive use of fingersFor example, a long timeplay the pianoorUsing the KeyboardThis happens with typing, because if overused it will hand make the finger tips fatigued, and when fatigue occurs it produces a certain amount ofnumbness, thereby feeling numbness in the tips of the fingers. FingersPeripheral nerve toxicity, infection, vitamin B1 deficiencyInflammatory reactions are caused by supply disorders in the fingers, etc. These causes can cause numbness and pain in the fingers, most of the fingers of both hands occur at the same time, and the cause can be recovered by removing the cause, or can be recovered by taking oral or injected Vitamin B1 or by doing acupuncture for the treatment.

• Due to the fact that womenHormone fluctuations in the body cause menopause and feeling numbness in the fingertips is just a normal physiological phenomenon., there is generally no need for excessive treatment. If there is hand compression of blood vessels and nerves, resulting in poor blood flow, the hand does not get blood supply, numbness will occur, generally speaking, this situation is due to the upper limb nerves are jammed.

• If it isPeople who have frequent numbness in their fingers need to be alert for stroke, which is common in middle-aged people over 40 years old.In addition to numbness in the fingers, there is oftenHeadache, vertigo, light-headedness, tongue swelling, etc.. Diabetic patients have high blood sugar, and high blood sugar can cause paralysis of the body, hands and feet will appear numbness, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a blood sugar monitoring, if too high need to speed treatment control.

• Diseases such as high blood pressure or high blood cholesterol can cause vasospasm or hardening of the blood vessels.While older people'sThe high viscosity of the blood is on the high side, which makes it prone to transient cerebral ischemia and consequent numbness of the fingers.Due to cervical vertebrae hypertrophy and hyperplasia or cervical disc degeneration and protrusion and other compression of the cervical nerve root or cervical cord, can cause unilateral or bilateral finger numbness and pain, right hand finger numbness and pain, and even upper limb activity disorder, sometimes the whole arm to the shoulder are numbness and pain intolerable, holding a pen, knitting sweater are difficult.

• Numbness of the fingers is an independent condition of damage to the motor nerves of the limbs, mostly due to theStroke hemiplegia, diabetes, neuritis, and cervical and lumbar spondylosis caused by.. The microscopic blood vessels around the motor nerve fibers are blocked and compress the motor fibers, resulting in severe damage to the motor nerve fibers. The nerve's conduction ability and conduction speed decreases, and numbness of the hands and feet occurs. In severe cases, it can develop into tragic symptoms such as limb paralysis and muscle atrophy.

Numbness of the fingers should not be treated as a symptom, but rather as a cause.Regardless of the cause of numbness in the fingers, you should first go to the neurology department of the hospital for examination to determine whether there is any damage to the nerves and what kind of irritation you have suffered. If it is a neurological problem, electromyography is also needed to further confirm the degree, extent and nature of nerve damage. If the numbness is caused by other reasons, the patient will be referred to other relevant departments. Numbness of the fingers can be gradually reduced by exercising the neck and upper limbs. Exercise should be done gradually, gently at first, and then gradually strengthened, and must be done consistently. However, excessive or sudden too strong movements should be prevented. In addition, you can continue acupuncture, physical therapy, take vitamin B1, etc., if necessary, feasible cervical traction and other treatments, but must be carried out under the guidance of a physician.

First of all, there are many factors that lead to numbness of the fingertips, but the vast majority of them are still due to nerve damage or stimulation, and some of them are involved numbness after organ lesions, many people have long-term numbness of the fingertips, but how to find the reason, in fact, this symptom is both nerve stimulation caused by the substantive lesions caused by the tumor metastasis, so the long-term appearance of this symptom should be Therefore, if you have such symptoms for a long period of time, you should be vigilant and have it checked in time.

Here's Dr. Ma's answer to the question of what's wrong with numbness in the tips of the fingers.

1、Injury to radial nerve, median nerve and ulnar nerve of the upper limb

This line of nerve injury is mainly seen in trauma, fracture, postoperative, tumors and cervical spine compression and other factors lead to ulnar nerve injury will appear one or two fingertips numbness, serious cases will appear little finger claw hand deformity, median nerve injury will lead to the emergence of the emergence of the sensory impairment of the upper limb and muscle dysfunction, the function of the thumb and forearm functional limitation, and the radial nerve injury will appear the fingers and wrist prolapse, and the thumb and index finger Dorsal numbness and sensory dysfunction.

2. Diabetes and pesticide poisoning

Diabetes is a chronic disease, and long-term patients with diabetes will appear numbness of the fingers, intermittent, mainly due to elevated blood glucose affects the distal limbs ischemia and hypoxia, so there will be peripheral neuropathy caused by pesticide poisoning will also stimulate the nerves of the fingers numbness of the sensation of the fingers, which are generally symmetrical numbness of the fingers, and there will be a numbness of the whole hand of the fingertips.

3. Carpal tunnel syndrome

Carpal tunnel syndrome is common in some long-term two-handed operation of the population, due to long-term wrist to maintain a posture activities lead to inflammation of the carpal tunnel or staining and the phenomenon of compression of the nerve, carpal tunnel syndrome patients will appear in the early stage of the wrist sensory inflexibility, and skin sensory abnormalities, and at night there are also symptoms of pinprick pain, and with the aggravation of the disease, there will be gradual numbness of the thumb, forefinger, middle finger, and will be involved in the arm pain and discomfort. The pain and discomfort in the arm.

4. Peripheral neuropathy

This kind of lesion is also more difficult to treat and the etiology is complex, mainly due to various factors leading to local nerve compression, inflammation, etc., so it will lead to the corresponding parts of the muscles and limbs appear weakness and numbness, and the serious will appear muscle atrophy, this kind of lesion is also mostly seen in the long-term alcoholism of the population, alcohol for the nervous system stimulation is very big, so after a large amount of alcohol in the body after the high concentration of alcohol, it will seriously affect the oxygen content in the blood and vascular function, which will lead to the brain in a certain degree of ischemia, hypoxia state. Therefore, the high concentration of alcohol in the body after heavy drinking will seriously affect the oxygen content in the blood and the function of blood vessels, thus leading to the brain in a certain degree of ischemia, hypoxia, which will lead to unilateral or bilateral numbness in the fingers and arms.

5. Cervical spondylosis

Cervical spondylosis is the main factor leading to numbness of the fingers, due to long-term factors leading to cervical vertebrae protrusion, so it will compress the nerves and blood vessels on both sides through the main cause of numbness of the fingers is to compress the brachial plexus nerve or cervical from the nerve, so brachial plexus nerve damage or cervical plexus nerve damage as well as damage to the nerves of the upper limbs can cause numbness of the fingers.

6. Cerebral infarction

This is a relatively common disease among middle-aged and elderly people nowadays. This disease can also lead to the appearance of numbness in the upper limbs and fingers, which is caused by carotid artery compression, atherosclerosis, cerebral thrombosis and other factors, resulting in ischemia and hypoxia of the brain tissues, and therefore leads to damage to the brain nerves, and so the nerves innervating the upper limbs are abnormal and lead to this.
