Patient's question:
I was pregnant for seven months, and then my hands started to feel numb. Sometimes I couldn't even make a fist, and other times I couldn't hold chopsticks steady when eating.Doctor's answer:
The reason for hand numbness in pregnant women is calcium deficiency. During the early stage of pregnancy, the third trimester, and the later stage of pregnancy, the demand for calcium in pregnant women increases as the baby's bones develop. However, the calcium intake from food is far insufficient to meet the needs of both the mother and the baby. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects the patient's life but can also lead to further gynecological issues. Therefore, it is best to have a vaginal examination in the gynecology department of the hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, dietary adjustments should be made, focusing on light and easily digestible foods, while avoiding spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
