White spots on female nails

Nails are a solid barrier that protects people's fragile fingers, and many women also like to do some manicures on their nails to make their fingers look longer and more beautiful. However, since fingers are connected to many organs in the human body, the symptoms on the nails can also reflect diseases of human organs. Normal people have white half-moons on their nails, but what should you do if you find white spots on your nails?

Clinically, the appearance of white spots on the nails may be a reaction to human health. Although the appearance of white spots on the nails will not cause great harm to the patient's health, it may be that the patient's physical health has problems. In most cases, the appearance of white spots on the nails often symbolizes a lack of certain vitamins in the human body. It may also be caused by onychomycosis, trauma, lack of nutrition, chronic inflammation, etc.

1. If white spots appear on the nails and the nails become very fragile and easy to break, it is recommended that the patient go to the hospital to check the vitamin status. It may be caused by the lack of certain vitamins in the patient's body. It is usually caused by zinc deficiency. It is recommended that the patient can eat more vegetables, fish, shrimps, walnuts, peanuts and other foods rich in vitamins.

2. Onychomycosis often manifests as white nail symptoms at the beginning. If the nails are infected by fungi, white spots will appear, and the nails will become very soft, causing the nail bed to sink. In this case, the first thing to do is to treat the onychomycosis to prevent other healthy nails from being infected.

3. If in addition to white spots on the nails there are also symptoms of stomach pain and diarrhea, it may be roundworms.

4. In addition, the patient's nail bed and periungual area have suffered some trauma, which may be caused by just tearing off a hangnail.

5. Clinically, a more serious situation may be chronic hepatitis. The symptoms of chronic hepatitis are often the appearance of white spots on the nails, and pink around the white spots. It is recommended that patients go to the hospital in time to check liver function to confirm the condition.

To sum up, the appearance of white spots on the nails is generally a warning about the health of the human body. Although this disease will not cause particularly serious harm, patients must remain highly vigilant, because some small problems may cause serious diseases. Therefore, we recommend that patients go to the hospital for a detailed examination based on other symptoms when they find white spots on their nails.
