Feeling that one leg is longer than the other

The insufficient production of estrogen by the ovaries is primarily reflected in the nature of the menstrual cycle. Many women who had heavy and long-lasting periods before menopause notice a drastic reduction in their volume and duration during menopause. This is a normal phenomenon.

Vaginal relaxation syndrome

Vaginal laxity syndrome is a gynecological disorder in women in which the muscles and mucous membrane of the vagina lose their tension. This leads to an increase in vaginal volume and incomplete closure of the labia ring (vaginal opening).

Vaginal relaxation syndrome (VRS) has several names: vaginal weakness, wide vaginal syndrome, vaginal atony. It is not life-threatening, but it has a significant impact on quality of life: women complain of reduced sensitivity during sexual intercourse and difficulties in reaching orgasm. Aesthetic discomfort is no less important: a wide open genital opening is considered by many to be a sign of vulgarity.

causes

The main causes of SVR are dysfunctions of the musculoskeletal system of the pelvis: metabolic dystrophy, neural dysregulation and damage to the connective tissue and muscle fibers of the pelvis and especially the vagina. The loss of functionality of the musculoskeletal system can be caused by the following factors:

1. childbirth Difficult transvaginal delivery (eg, with a large fetus) is often associated with tearing of the perineal tissue and vaginal muscles, which can lead to vaginal weakness.
2. hormone deficiency . A chronic lack of sex hormones (estrogen in particular) leads to atony of the smooth muscles of the vagina.
3. High intra-abdominal pressure. The constant exposure to intra-abdominal pressure leads to dystrophy of the pelvic floor muscles. Regular weight lifting, multiple or multiple pregnancies, obesity, chronic constipation, and severe coughing can provoke increases in intra-abdominal pressure.
4. collagenosis . Congenital or acquired diseases that cause functional and morphological changes in connective tissue.
5. trauma . The risk of SVR increases with trauma resulting in compromised microcirculation or innervation of vaginal tissues.

Hypodynia, premature menopause, hemorrhoids and varicose veins also increase the likelihood of developing Wide Vaginal Syndrome.

How the numbness in the legs manifests itself

Most commonly, numbness occurs in the inner or lateral part of the leg, near the calf muscle. In addition, the following symptoms may occur

• The lower leg itches, stings and hurts;
• the skin becomes dry and may change color;
• occasional 'tingling' in the lower leg;
• pain in the lumbar spine and buttocks;
• the affected leg gets cold more often, and the skin on the lower leg gets a little cooler;
• more frequent stiffness in the ankle, and the discomfort increases when bending over.

Diarrhea in right and left leg

It depends on which extremity is affected by the numbness:

1. If you experience numbness in your right leg, right sciatic nerve neuropathy is most likely due to osteochondrosis or a herniated disc. The problem is easy to fix if dealt with in a timely manner;
2. Caution is advised if there is abnormal sensation in the left leg but no other pain sensations are present. This condition can be a harbinger of stroke, microstroke, or transient ischemic attack. If the numbness is ignored in this case, the situation will only worsen;

In order to correctly diagnose the disease that caused the numbness, the patient should undergo a comprehensive examination, in particular, an ultrasound scan and magnetic resonance imaging of the spine and lumbar region.

Treatment of numbness in the legs

After the patient has received a comprehensive diagnosis, and the doctor has made an accurate diagnosis, the treatment program is designed individually. Therapy depends on the underlying cause of the numbness.

The main cause of numbness in the lower limbs is nerve root stiffness caused by osteochondrosis of the lumbar spine and its complications. Therefore, the main goal of treatment is to ensure the normal function of the trapped extremities and promote mobility of the lower body.

The therapeutic program may include the following methods:

• medication. The doctor primarily prescribes painkillers and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Steroid medications can also be taken (especially if herniated disc symptoms are severe). Treatment may include vitamins and minerals, muscle relaxants (to reduce muscle tension), and drugs to stimulate microcirculation;
• Chiropractic techniques with the following areas of focus – Chiropractic techniques aimed at releasing muscle blockages, freeing pinched nerves and vessels and restoring the natural mobility of affected joints;
• LFC. This therapeutic gymnastics helps to improve blood circulation in the affected area and strengthen the muscles, which can prevent the numbness from recurring;
• physical therapy. To stimulate the regeneration processes in the damaged tissues, the doctor can prescribe ultrasound, electrophoresis, laser radiation (low intensity), magnetic therapy;

Oriental alternative medicine. Acupuncture, hirudotherapy (treatment with leeches), and stone therapy (use of heated stones) can speed up the healing process.

The 13 most common causes of numbness in the legs

#1 Tunnel syndrome in the legs. We have already talked about carpal tunnel syndrome in our blog. It can also appear in the foot area. The nerves travel in too narrow a channel, causing them to pinch and collapse, causing pain and loss of sensation.

#2 Tarsal Canal Syndrome. Compression of the shin nerve at the ankle causing numbness on the inside of the foot.

#Nr. 3 Raynaud's Syndrome. Rare disease. Circulation is disrupted, resulting in blue and white discoloration of the extremities and loss of sensation.

#Nr. 4 Obliterative arteritis. Chronic damage to the small vessels and arteries up to complete occlusion. Occurs more frequently in young and middle-aged men than in women. Associated with smoking, allergies, blood diseases, recent operations. Nausea in the legs as a symptom of.

#5 diabetes. Diabetes increases blood sugar levels. The blood thickens and finds it difficult to flow through the small vessels. The blood supply is disturbed and numbness occurs in various parts of the body, but especially in the legs.

#6 vitamin B12 hypovitaminosis. It develops with dieting, systemic hunger, chronic gastric and duodenal diseases, and lack of vitamin B12-rich foods in the diet. It leads to a thinning of the nerve sheaths, which causes, among other things, numbness in the legs.

№7 hernia of the spine. As a result of this disease, feeling in the limbs is impaired. If the impairment is in the cervical or thoracic spine, the hands are affected; if it is in the lumbar spine, the feet are affected.

#8 Multiple Sclerosis. Nausea in the extremities is the first sign of the disease. It is a disease in which nerve fibers lose their myelin sheaths. It occurs as a result of an autoimmune disease caused by neurotropic viruses: herpes and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

What to do with numbness in the legs?

Go to your doctor and find out the cause because you need to fight the disease that caused the symptom. If you feel numb in your legs, the doctor will order a blood test: generally, for blood sugar levels, vitamin B12 levels, minerals and vitamins. An examination of the nervous system, the vascular system and the spine is ordered. An ultrasound examination, an X-ray examination, a computed tomography scan, a spinal puncture or an MRI can be performed.

If the body is deficient in minerals and vitamins, we supplement them. Changes in the spine are treated with massage, gymnastics, swimming and hanging on a pole. Eat a healthy diet of plant foods, grains, and fish. This, along with specific exercises, removes excess salt from the body and vertebrae, which is important to prevent pinched nerves. The doctor will prescribe medication or surgery.

How the diagnosis is carried out

If a patient complains of numbness in the legs, an initial examination is usually of little use. One can speculate, but nothing more. The doctor collects complaints, clarifies whether the patient had injuries, infectious diseases, poisoning - all this will be useful (including information about bad habits). Then the patient needs to take a blood test: clinical, for diabetes and vitamin B12. A blood test for rheumatism may also be necessary.

A vascular examination is performed: a duplex ultrasound to assess the condition of the arteries and veins. The anatomy of the vessels is examined and their permeability analyzed. The condition of the blood flow in the limbs is also assessed.

Another examination is magnetic resonance imaging of the spine. Particular attention is paid to the lumbar spine: hernias and injuries in this area can lead to sensory disturbances in the limbs. An MRI of the brain is also performed to rule out that the numbness in the legs is due to multiple sclerosis.

Treatment is prescribed after making a diagnosis based on the detected disease. In most cases, the patient is also recommended (in addition to the main treatment) to follow a diet, give up bad habits and participate in physiotherapy treatments.

diagnosis of deafness

Making an accurate diagnosis is difficult because deafness is not a clear symptom of a specific disease. In order to make a diagnosis, the doctor will

The first two exams determine whether there is compression of the nerve roots due to a spinal abnormality or trauma. If there is no nervous system disorder, the patient is given an ultrasound scan to assess the condition of the blood vessels and the speed of blood flow. MRI and CT scans are versatile and can be used to detect both neurological and cardiovascular abnormalities. Blood tests will help to rule out atherosclerosis, hypovitaminosis and intoxication.

Treatment of numbness

The treatment regimen depends on the cause of the numbness. Conservative therapies include NSAIDs, drugs to increase blood flow, anticoagulants, statins, and multivitamins. Sometimes, e.g. B. a herniated or herniated disc or the occlusion of a large blood clot, conservative treatment is ineffective. In such cases, the elderly patient is referred for surgery. If the patient's age or comorbidities do not allow surgical treatment of the problem, a treatment method is chosen that can relieve pain, at least partially eliminate stiffness, and improve blood circulation in order to preserve the patient's quality of life.

Cause of reduced sensitivity of the toes

According to statistics, this symptom is associated with lumbar osteochondrosis in almost 90 % of cases. The vast majority of people who see a doctor are diagnosed with this condition. Reduced sensitivity in the toes can also be caused by the following causes, among others

• spinal tumor
• Diabetes;
• hormonal disorders;
• tuberculosis of the spine;
• microinfarcts;
• Multiple sclerosis;
• Arthritis.

Often the problem is related to diseases of the spine. Scoliosis, sciatica, or herniated discs can also cause long-term numbness in the fingers. The problem can also occur during pregnancy, especially in the last trimester. In this case, the sensitivity of the toes of the expectant mother is reduced due to the enlarging uterus. This leads to reduced blood circulation in the lower limbs and causes numbness. That is why pregnant women often have cold and numb fingers.

diagnosis

In order to treat this condition, the cause must first be determined. Only a highly qualified medical specialist can do this. To this end, he will prescribe the patient a comprehensive diagnosis. This includes the following investigations:

Basic diagnostic methods for loss of feeling in the toes

diagnostic methods	Time
Ultrasound examination of the lower limbs	30 minutes
X-ray examination of the feet	30 minutes
MRI spine	20 minutes

The cost of the procedures can vary. The price depends on the reputation of the clinic, the quality of the diagnostic equipment used, the qualifications of the staff conducting the examination and the availability of additional services.

The results of the procedures are transmitted to the attending physician. He or she must review all the data and only then begin treatment. The treatment plan for each patient is tailored strictly individually. The doctor considers the patient's medical history, assesses general health, and takes into account the patient's age.

Which doctor can help?

If you suffer from sensory disturbances in your toes, you should see your doctor:

What is menopause?

In the reproductive system of every woman, before birth, a number of follicles are formed that produce sex hormones (estrogen and progesterone). The follicles are consumed from the time of the first menstrual period and gradually decrease in size with age.

During this time, the ovaries begin to gradually reduce their function, and estrogen and progesterone become scarce. These hormones are involved in many important processes in the woman's body: they regulate the menstrual cycle, are responsible for bone density and prevent the accumulation of cholesterol on the walls of the blood vessels. As production of these hormones decreases, fertility gradually decreases as well.

During this phase, periods become irregular, sparse, and gradually stop altogether. For some women, this period passes almost unnoticed, while for others it is accompanied by a significant deterioration in the quality of life. The symptoms of menopause and when it starts are different for every woman.

How to recognize the onset of menopause

The first symptoms of menopause appear in most cases around the age of 50, but can sometimes become noticeable as early as 40 or 60. In early menopause, the symptoms of menopause appear as early as 28-30 years of age. The onset of early menopause is dangerous for the development of cardiovascular diseases and osteoporosis at a young age.

• Sweating, hot flashes – the change in hormonal balance affects heat regulation, sudden hot flashes can occur that subside spontaneously. During hot flashes, the face and neck become red and nausea may occur;
• Cardiac arrhythmia – a rapid heartbeat is caused by a drop in estrogen levels, which are needed to maintain normal cardiovascular function (CVS);
• headache, dizziness - this is caused by high and low blood pressure and its sudden changes;
• Poor memory: changes in hormone levels affect vascular tone and impair cerebral blood flow, leading to forgetfulness;
• Emotional volatility: a drop in hormone levels leads to increased irritability and tearing;
• Dryness, burning sensation in the vagina: low estrogen levels affect the production of vaginal lubricant, the intensity of blood flow in the vaginal vessels and the condition of the mucous membranes. These disorders lead to painful sensations during intimacy;
• Increased bone fragility – estrogens affect the maintenance of minerals in the bones and thus their strength;
• hirsutism – hair on the face, neck, chest and back caused by higher levels of testosterone than estrogen;
• Reduced skin tension – Estrogens are responsible for the elasticity of the skin. When their production decreases, wrinkles form and the skin becomes dry and scaly.

A change in the menstrual cycle is also an indication of impending menopause.

specificity of pain

The characteristics of 'muscle tightness' most frequently cited by patients are:

• muscle involvement with muscle tightening';
• Fine stabbing pain with unclear localization;
• Nausea;
• Also an externally visible curvature or a twitching of the muscle.

In what is known as myofascial tension syndrome (which combines all of the above symptoms), pain and excessive tissue contraction are felt when the area is touched. Often the thoracic spine becomes less flexible and the feeling spreads to the lower back.

Seizures, depending on the pathology, may be accompanied by other clinical symptoms. These include general intoxication, tremors in the arms or legs, awkward movements, decreased reflexes, aching pains in the limbs, and others.

Frequent, intense or prolonged seizures require consultation with a neurologist! They can be accompanied by many diseases, the complications of which can adversely affect the health of the body as a whole.

At our clinic, an experienced neurologist will conduct an individual consultation for you, explain the causes of seizures in your case and select a specific treatment plan.

Methods for diagnosing pathologies associated with seizures

As already mentioned, muscle tension is associated with many diseases. The final diagnosis depends on how common the symptom is, how severe it is, and where it is located.

In order to locate the problem, it is first necessary to assess the patient's condition.

Taking into account the patient's heredity, lifestyle, diet and exercise habits allows for a more accurate assessment of the clinical picture.

Doctors use the drug as a complementary method:

How long can cocaine be eliminated from the body?

With modern tests, cocaine can be detected in the body even after a few days of complete sobriety. About 95 % of the substance are eliminated from the body two to four days after ingestion, mainly through the kidneys.

Cocaine allergy is a serious condition. It is associated with overdosing or using the wrong mix. To minimize the risk of serious consequences, the drug should be discontinued. Cocaine causes systemic damage to the cardiovascular system, gastrointestinal tract, and brain.

damage to the body

The effects of cocaine on the body include.

• Cardiovascular diseases: ischemia, arrhythmia, hypertension, tachycardia, coronary artery stenosis, myocardial infarction, aortic dissection, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and even sudden cardiac arrest;
• respiratory and lung diseases;
• ischemia and necrosis of the gastrointestinal organs;
• CNS disorders: acute cerebral circulation, stroke, cerebral hemorrhage.

The fleeting feeling of euphoria is not worth the risk of such serious pathologies. This means that you should refrain from using cocaine once.

Cocaine overdose

A slight overdose can cause hand tremors, skin discoloration, and excessive sweating. Severe thirst, dryness of the mucous membranes and severe headaches are common. Cardiovascular disorders such as high blood pressure, tachycardia and cardiac arrhythmias occur. The risk of a stroke or heart attack is significantly increased.

Severe overdose causes loss of consciousness and seizures. This manifests itself in an epileptic syndrome. Sudden cardiac arrest is possible.

cocaine poisoning

Poisoning with this drug is accompanied by the typical symptoms of a serious overdose. First aid should be sought from a doctor.

cocaine addiction

Addiction to cocaine develops quickly: in most cases, after the first dose, the sufferer wants to repeat the original effect. This can become progressively more difficult, and as the lines get longer and thicker, overdosing will eventually occur.

Treatment for cocaine addiction must be comprehensive: it is the only way to address both the physical and psychological underpinnings of addiction.

The first step in addiction treatment is detoxification. These include the application of saline and water solutions to remove toxins, sorbents and special injections. Quality treatment involves an inpatient stay, so the drug therapist may recommend a visit to the clinic during a home visit. The detoxification phase lasts between three days and 21 days. Interventions are offered in the clinic to promote motivation for recovery.
