Why do my hands feel numb after an abortion?

Generally speaking, there is not much relationship between abortion and numbness in the hands, but the physical condition will be relatively poor after an abortion. If the woman herself has cervical spine problems, it may cause numbness in the hands. At this time, she should pay attention to moderate exercise and avoid sitting for a long time. There are many reasons for numbness in the hands. In addition to cervical spondylosis, problems with the upper limb nerves can also easily cause this condition. This disease is also called cubital tunnel syndrome.

Why do my hands feel numb after an abortion?

It should not be particularly related to miscarriage. Consider whether it is related to the cervical spine. Normal activities are required after abortion to promote blood circulation and the discharge of lochia. There is no problem with washing your hair and taking a shower. This situation may be caused by cervical compression or long-term compression while sleeping. Pay attention to rest in the near future. Medication can be used under the guidance of a doctor.

What is the reason for frequent numbness in hands?

1. Compression of upper limb nerves: First, numbness and pain in the thumb, index and middle fingers, often with a history of waking up from numbness at night, which can be improved after waking up and moving around. In severe cases, there may be atrophy of the hand muscles, affecting the fine movements of the hand. This is because the median nerve is compressed in the wrist, the so-called "carpal tunnel syndrome"; the second is numbness and pain in the ring and little fingers, and there may also be a history of waking up from numbness at night. In severe cases, there is muscle atrophy and decreased flexion strength of the ring and little fingers, affecting fine movement. This is because the nerve becomes pinched at the elbow, a condition called "cubital tunnel syndrome."

2. Cervical spondylosis: The most common disease causing numbness in hands is cervical spondylosis, which is one of the common diseases among middle-aged and elderly people. When people enter middle age, some organs tend to undergo degenerative changes. When the cervical intervertebral disc degenerates, it often leads to cervical disc herniation or hyperplasia or hypertrophy of the articular processes. Once these protruding cervical discs or hyperplastic articular processes compress the adjacent cervical nerve roots, cervical spondylosis occurs. In addition to numbness and abnormal sensation in the fingers, cervical spondylosis is also accompanied by other symptoms, such as: soreness in the bones and muscles of the neck and shoulders, radiating pain in the upper limbs or movement disorders. It is not difficult to diagnose cervical spondylosis, all you need is an X-ray. There is also a simple method to check cervical spondylosis. One person supports the affected side of the head and holds the affected upper limb with one hand, abducting it 90°, and pushes and pulls in opposite directions with both hands at the same time. If there is radiating pain or numbness, it can be preliminarily diagnosed as cervical spondylosis.

3. Stroke: Another common disease that causes numbness in the hands is stroke. The book "Health Treasure Book: Stroke" once said: "Anyone who initially feels numbness or loss of function of the thumb or index finger will suffer a stroke within three years." It is necessary to prevent it: be careful in your daily life, eat in moderation, stay away from sex, and be emotionally relaxed. Although finger numbness does not necessarily lead to a stroke, middle-aged people over the age of 40 should pay more attention and be alert to the occurrence of stroke if they often experience symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, heavy head and light feet, limb numbness, and tongue swelling, and if they also have high blood pressure, high blood lipids, diabetes, cerebral arteriosclerosis and other diseases.
