Finger numbness is a common adverse symptom, and pregnant women should also be vigilant if they experience this condition. After all, pregnancy is a relatively special physiological period, and sometimes some minor health problems may also affect the healthy development of the fetus. So, what causes numbness in the fingers of pregnant women?
1. The common reason for numbness in the fingers of pregnant women may be that the fetus develops and grows after pregnancy, and the enlarged uterus will compress the veins in the abdominal cavity, which can lead to poor blood circulation and poor blood flow in the limbs, making it easy to experience numbness in the fingers during pregnancy. This can be achieved through moderate activity, soaking feet in hot water, washing hands, etc., which is beneficial for promoting local blood circulation and improving symptoms of finger numbness.
2. Some pregnant women may also have cervical spondylosis problems themselves, and pregnancy often exacerbates their previous cervical spondylosis, so they may also experience numbness in their fingers. If the pregnant woman has this problem, she should go to the doctor for examination. Under the guidance of the doctor, massage, acupuncture and moxibustion and other physical treatments can be given to improve the numbness and discomfort of the extremities.
3. Pregnant women with numb fingers should also be alert to whether there is pregnancy with diabetes. Because diabetes can cause peripheral neuropathy, there will also be symptoms of finger numbness. It is recommended to undergo prenatal checkups to check if blood glucose levels are normal. If there are any issues, appropriate measures should be taken to control blood glucose levels at a stable level.
