Disease in the body, finger prophet! There are 6 kinds of abnormalities in the fingers, need to be vigilant, or the signal of disease
The human body is like a sophisticated instrument, and the various parts are not independent of each other. Once a problem occurs in one part, it is likely to be manifested by abnormalities in other parts of the body.
For example, changes in skin color, pain, and abnormal urination and defecation may be signs of health problems. Only by paying attention to these abnormalities and finding the cause can targeted improvements be made to restore health.
So, if the finger is abnormal, what health problems will it prompt?
1. Numbness of fingers
The fingers are often numb without being pressed for a long time, and the occurrence of diseases should be alerted. Many diseases can cause numbness and weakness in the fingers, such as neuritis, cervical spondylosis, tumors, etc.
Taking cervical spondylosis as an example, patients with cervical spondylosis may compress the nerve roots due to joint hyperplasia and hypertrophy, thereby causing symptoms of numbness in the fingers. In addition, if you have high blood pressure, diabetes, etc. , due to vascular disease, the blood circulation will be affected, and this symptom will also appear.
2. Depressed nails
Nail depression is often related to anemia, especially in the middle of the nail, which is mostly caused by iron deficiency anemia . In addition, the small crescents on the nails generally occupy one-fifth of the entire nail surface. If the small crescents occupy too much area, you should be alert to diseases such as hyperthyroidism and high blood pressure . If there are no small crescents, you should be alert to anemia, neurasthenia , etc.
3. trembling hands
It is normal for people to experience tremors when they are too excited, but if they are in a stable mood but often tremble, they should be careful about the occurrence of diseases, such as hyperthyroidism, hypoglycemia, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, chronic Traumatic sequelae , etc. may cause this symptom.
4. Clubbing finger
If it is found that the end of the finger has become much thicker and looks like a drumstick, you should be alert. This situation is called clubbing, and its occurrence is related to chronic hypoxia and metabolic disorders at the end of the limb .
This condition is common in respiratory diseases, such as bronchiectasis, chronic lung abscess , etc. In addition, endocarditis, congenital heart disease , etc. can also cause this symptom, so if you find clubbing, you should seek medical examination in time.
5. Fingers are whitish and cold
Fingers are pale, bloodless, and very cold to the touch, and should be alert to Raynaud's disease . The main manifestation of Raynaud's disease is the color change of the fingers, such as white, red, purple, etc., and it is also accompanied by a tingling sensation.
The onset time of this symptom varies, ranging from ten minutes to several hours. Its occurrence is related to cold stimulation and emotional stimulation. If it is not treated in time, the skin of the fingers may atrophy and fester in the later stage, and attention should be paid to it.
6. Nails with long black lines
Healthy nails are smooth and flat with uniform color. If black lines are found on the nails, it is likely to be related to melanoma, onychomycosis, and nevus on the nail. Among them, nevus on the nail is more common, and it may progress to melanoma in the later stage.
It is not difficult to identify nevus onychomycosis. The width of the black line is generally less than 5 mm, and its size will not change suddenly. However, if the width of the black line exceeds 5 mm and is accompanied by symptoms such as redness and itching, you should seek medical attention in time.
Abnormal changes in the body often indicate health problems. If the above-mentioned changes occur in the fingers, they should not be ignored. The reasons should be found out and dealt with in time to avoid greater harm to health.
In addition, fingers are densely distributed and are also one of the most flexible organs in the human body. It is recommended that you do more finger exercises at ordinary times, which can stimulate brain cells and have the effect of strengthening the brain.
