What does neuropathy mean?

Neuropathy refers to the lesions in the central nervous system and peripheral nerves of the human body. The occurrence of neuropathy is often related to nerve damage. It may be neuritis or other diseases, but no matter what the cause of the neuropathy is, it will have a great impact on the patient's body and mind. So what exactly is neuropathy? If neuropathy occurs, what adverse effects will it have on a person's body and mind?

Nerves include central nervous systems and peripheral nerves. Numbness in the toes is a peripheral neuropathy, which is mostly caused by nerve damage, neuritis or other diseases compressing the nerves. You can go to the hospital's neurology department for a lumbar CT scan and nerve-related examinations. The severity of the condition and its severity need to be clearly diagnosed and determined.

Peripheral neuropathy is a syndrome of sensory loss, muscle weakness and atrophy, decreased tendon reflexes, and vasomotor symptoms, alone or in any combination.

Do appropriate exercise regularly. Maintain a good attitude, avoid excessive anger or depression, eliminate psychological states such as tension and excitement, and keep your mood happy, open-minded, and emotionally stable. The diet should be nutritious and light, avoiding rich and greasy food, and especially avoiding tobacco and alcohol.

Peripheral neuropathy sometimes causes symptoms such as numbness, weakness, and pain in the limbs. It is recommended to take vitamin B1, methylcobalamin tablets orally for a long time, and perform nerve nutrition therapy, which may relieve the symptoms.

The key to treating diabetic peripheral neuropathy is to control blood sugar first. Only when blood sugar is stably controlled can the occurrence of peripheral vascular and neuropathy be effectively slowed down. Therefore, in addition to treatment, it is recommended that patients must adhere to medication, regular monitoring and reexamination, and adjust the treatment plan at any time according to the condition in order to control blood sugar stability.
