What is peripheral neuritis?

Peripheral neuritis disease is relatively common, after the occurrence of peripheral neuritis disease, the patient will have more obvious symmetrical symptoms at the end of the limbs, so it is necessary to pay full attention to this disease, and must not ignore the disease. Before **, we must first choose the corresponding method for diagnosis, so as to be able to return to a healthy physical state as soon as possible.

Most people are familiar with peripheral neuritis disease, which has a high incidence in people's lives. After the appearance of peripheral neuritis disease, most people do not use professional methods to carry out **, but just blindly forbearance. It is only when the disease develops so severely that it affects normal life and work to a large extent that people begin to pay attention to the dangers of the disease.

In daily life, if you find that you have uncomfortable symptoms similar to peripheral neuritis on your body, you need to actively go to the hospital for diagnosis, and then choose the corresponding method. Today, I will introduce you to several major diagnostic methods for peripheral neuritis diseases.

1. Judge according to symptoms.

After the occurrence of peripheral neuritis disease, the patient can first make self-judgment, and the first thing to observe is what uncomfortable symptoms will occur in the body, such as the presence of limb symmetry symptoms and decreased muscle tone, and the diagnosis can be confirmed to a certain extent. In addition, you can also actively consult a doctor, and the doctor's initial diagnosis is also to ask about symptoms.

2. Electrophysiological examination.

Electrophysiology is a very common test used for peripheral neuritis diseases, and electrophysiology examination is mainly to check the muscle tone of the patient. There is a constant standard for electrophysiology examination, and if the muscle tone is weakened or even disappeared, the disease can basically be diagnosed, which is a relatively accurate examination method.

3. Laboratory examination.

For peripheral neuritis disease, laboratory examination methods can also be selected, and laboratory examination methods are a relatively high-end examination method. The laboratory examination method requires taking a sample of the patient's local tissue, and then performing a test to determine the patient's physical condition. According to the laboratory method, the results are obtained very quickly, and the results are usually available within the same day.

After the occurrence of peripheral neuritis disease, the first step is to go to a large hospital for an active examination, and in general, there are three methods to confirm the diagnosis: symptom examination, laboratory examination, and electrophysiology examination. Only after being diagnosed with the disease, can you return to a healthy physical state as soon as possible.

Peripheral neuritis generally has the following symptoms:

The main manifestation is the numbness of the limbs, the more typical is the "glove sign" or "sock sleeve sign", the specific manifestation is the hands or feet as if wearing gloves, or wearing socks, most patients start with the numbness of the fingers or toes, the movement is not flexible, and can gradually spread to the entire palm or soles of the feet, serious pinprick sensation, and feel numbness, flexion and extension are not flexible, and some patients will also have a tingling or electric shock sensation after touching objects.

Peripheral neuritis is a neurological disorder that causes damage to peripheral nerves with various symptoms. Peripheral nerves are nerves located on the surface of the body that are primarily responsible for transmitting sensory information and controlling the activity of muscles.

Symptoms of peripheral neuritis include muscle atrophy, muscle paralysis, sensory impairment, muscle spasms, etc. These symptoms are often accompanied by pain. Peripheral neuritis can be caused by infection, drug toxicity, immune system disorders, or other factors.

** Peripheral neuritis ** includes ** drugs ** ** and ** surgery **. Medications can use anti-inflammatory drugs, antineurotoxin drugs, etc. to relieve symptoms, and physical**, verbal**, etc. can help patients improve their functioning. If peripheral neuritis is severe, your doctor may recommend surgery.

It is important that peripheral neuritis should be diagnosed and started as early as possible. If you or a loved one is experiencing symptoms such as muscle wasting or sensory impairment, it is recommended to consult a doctor as soon as possible so that you can start as soon as possible**.

Peripheral neuritis, also known as polyneuritis or polyneuropathy, is a common neurological disease, which is divided into acute, subacute and chronic, of which the acute can also be called "Guillain-Barré syndrome". The age of onset of peripheral neuritis varies, but most acute patients are young and middle-aged. There are many causes of its pathogenesis, such as nutritional deficiencies represented by B vitamins, poisoning, diabetes, gastrointestinal diseases, inflammatory infection, vasculitic or ischemic lesions, autoimmune damage and tumors.

Peripheral neuritis belongs to the category of "blood paralysis" and "impotence" in traditional Chinese medicine, and it is advisable to clear away heat and dampness, nourish the lungs and stomach, and clear away heat. The syndrome types are complex, including liver and kidney yin deficiency, damp heat invasion, spleen and kidney insufficiency, spleen and stomach deficiency, cold and damp invasion, lung heat injury and blood deficiency and wind paralysis, etc., so it is not difficult to distinguish according to its type.

First, the main performance.

1) The most important feature of paresthesia that begins distal to the limb and gradually develops to the proximal limb is the most important feature, which is similar to tingling, burning pain, ant walking, numbness, and hypersensitivity.

2) decreased sensation in the ward, as if it was covered with gloves or socks; Tenderness in the area**, tenderness of nerves and muscles.

3) Symmetrical weakness at the distal end of the limb, decreased muscle strength, decreased tendon reflexes, and symmetrical muscle atrophy mainly at the distal end of the limb will occur during the long course of the disease.

4) The lesion is smooth, thin, cold, or dry, wrinkled, pale, or blue-purple, and the nails are brittle and rough, accompanied by signs of little or excessive sweating.
