Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I go to the neurology department for a check-up. Could you please tell me what are the symptoms of peripheral neuropathy?Doctor's answer:
Neuritis refers to the inflammation, atrophy, or degeneration of nerves or nerve groups. The symptoms vary depending on the cause of the disease. General symptoms include pain, tenderness, and tingling. In infectious neuritis, symptoms may include itching, pain, loss of sensation, redness and swelling at the affected area, and severe pain. Peripheral neuritis is a demyelinating disease with multiple different causes. The early symptoms of this disease are not obvious and are easily overlooked, leading to the progression of the disease and secondary complications. This is the pathological change of chronic, progressive nerve damage. It primarily affects the autonomic nervous system of the human body, resulting in a weakened immune function. This disease should be treated as early as possible.
