Total Polyneuropaty

As a result of directing the signals sent from the brain to different organs through nerves, many functions in the body progress in a healthy way. However, if the nerves in the person are damaged, sometimes the signals cannot be sent back to the brain and as a result, polyneuropathy occurs.

What is Polyneuropathy?

Polyneuropathy, also called peripheral neuropathy, is a disease that occurs when nerves are damaged. The reason why damaged nerves affect the body so much is that these peripheral nerves provide communication between the central nervous system and all other nerves. Damage to nerves with such a great task causes serious problems in the body. Polyneuropathy is generally seen as a result of various diseases such as diabetes and cancer.

Polyneuropathy Symptoms

It is possible to notice polyneuropathy with some symptoms that can be noticed more quickly by people who regularly check their health and observe themselves. For example, numbness or inability to feel pain in certain parts of the body may occur. Or the person may have difficulty using their arms, legs, hands, or feet. Maybe problems in the digestive system may begin to occur. In order to recognize polyneuropathy, which has many other symptoms, it is recommended to get to know the person’s body and to talk to a specialist doctor when faced with an unusual situation.

What Causes Polyneuropathy?

As we mentioned in the previous chapters, polyneuropathy is caused by damage to peripheral nerves, and of course, there are some factors that can cause damage to these nerves. For example, polyneuropathy can be seen in type 2 diabetes patients in diabetes mellitus, because the blood glucose levels cannot be controlled by the insulin hormone. Excessive alcohol consumption or an unbalanced and irregular diet can also cause polyneuropathy, as well as some bone marrow disorders too.
