What is the disease of purple and black fingers?

Our ability to pick up things easily is closely related to the flexibility of our fingers. We use our fingers quite frequently in daily life, and this part is also prone to problems. A typical problem is purple and black fingers. People who don't understand the situation will definitely be very nervous when seeing this symptom, worrying that they have a serious illness. So, what disease causes purple and black fingers? Let’s take a closer look below.

1. Circulatory disorders

1. The heart is weak and cannot supply blood to the extremities of the body.

2. Anemia: insufficient circulating blood volume or low hemoglobin and red blood cells.

3. The human body's blood vessels will contract and the blood return ability will be weakened, resulting in poor blood circulation in the hands and feet, especially the fingertips, which is often called "poor peripheral circulation."

2. Insufficient Yang Qi

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that cold hands and feet are a kind of "blocked syndrome". The so-called "blocked" means blocked. Affected by factors such as cool weather or cold body, the liver meridian is affected by cold, and the liver's hematopoietic function is affected, leading to insufficient kidney yang, cold limbs, red or white hands and feet, and even pain.

3. Hormonal changes caused by menstruation and childbirth

Among people with cold hands and feet, women account for the majority. This is because hormonal changes affect the nervous system, causing subcutaneous blood vessels to constrict and blood flow to decrease, thus causing cold symptoms.
