What is the reason for numbness in a woman's right hand?

Many female friends have experienced numbness in their hands. Most people may ignore the serious consequences of this problem, thinking that numbness in the hands is just a minor problem that can be overcome by just enduring it. In fact, it is not. Frequent numbness in the hands may not simply be a problem with the wrist. It is necessary to find the culprit from the root cause. So, do you know what causes numbness in women's left hand?

What causes numbness in a woman's left hand?

1. Cervical spondylosis

Cervical spondylosis is the most common disease causing numbness in the hands, and the most typical one is radiculopathy of cervical spondylosis. Since the nerves of the upper limbs are branched out from the cervical vertebrae, when there is a problem with the cervical vertebrae and the nerves are compressed, it often causes numbness and pain in the hands.

2Compression of the transverse process of the seventh cervical vertebra

To put it simply, the transverse process of the seventh cervical vertebra is the most prominent bone at the back of the neck that can be touched with force. Because this bone is the largest, when you lower your head, all the stress of the cervical vertebrae is concentrated around it, especially for people who lower their heads for a long time at work. The muscle fascia around the transverse process of the seventh cervical vertebra will lose its elasticity and become stiff, thereby compressing the posterior branch of the cervical nerve passing through it, causing numbness in the hands.

3Diaphragmatic entrance and exit syndrome

This disease is rarely heard of by the general public. In fact, this type of patient is not common, but many people do not pay attention to it. Diaphragmatic entrance-exit syndrome is mainly caused by compression of the brachial plexus at the diaphragmatic entrance and exit.

4. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Also known as mouse hand, the median nerve is accompanied by nine tendons when passing through the carpal tunnel. When the lining of the carpal tunnel is swollen due to inflammation or compressed by other objects, it will compress the median nerve and cause numbness in the hand.

5. Cerebral ischemia, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases

It is another common disease that causes numbness in the hands. Because cerebral arteriosclerosis will slow down the transmission rate of nerves, reduce blood supply and oxygen production in some parts of the brain, cause problems with central nervous system function, and may cause numbness in the hands. It is often accompanied by headache, dizziness, heaviness, numbness of the limbs, swelling of the mouth, etc., and is accompanied by symptoms such as high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and cerebral arteriosclerosis.
