Often women are faced with a problem such as a burning sensation in the legs. What are the reasons for its appearance? How to get rid of this problem once and for all?
As soon as you feel that your legs began to bake, and this does not go away for several days, you need to find out the reason: what triggered the appearance of this problem. If you can’t figure it out on your own, then you need to contact a specialist. A neurologist will help you understand why there was a burning sensation in the feet.
The first reason baked feet is a malfunction of the peripheral nerves. When everything is normal, this feeling does not occur, since the impulses pass regularly and without interruption from the brain to the muscles and complete the reverse process. As soon as an “accident” occurs in the “program”, a signal is sent to the brain that an unplanned process (failure) has occurred. The problem only appears, and you already know about it, because burning in the legs is the main symptom of a malfunction of the peripheral nerves.
Reasons for burning in the legs:
1) Diabetes mellitus. When blood glucose metabolism is disrupted, particles (free radicals) begin to accumulate in nerve cells. It is precisely because of them that the destruction of nerve endings takes place. After nerve damage, a failure begins in the entire human body.
An important role is played by high blood sugar. It is deposited on the walls of blood vessels, after which they begin to narrow. The consequence - obstructed blood circulation, impaired blood circulation in the vessels. This affects the peripheral nerves. After blood circulation has worsened, nerves gradually begin to break down.
Burning in the legs is a signal that a person may develop diabetes. For this reason, it is recommended that patients who turn to the doctor first donate blood for sugar or make an analysis for glycated hemoglobin. Using the analysis, it will be determined whether the amount of glucose in the patient is disturbed. If you find an elevated sugar level, you should also seek the help of an endocrinologist. Soon all that will be appointed electromyography.
2) Inherited problems. You can’t get away from genes, therefore, if parents faced such a problem, then their children simply can’t avoid it. After a certain gene mutation appeared, it began to be transmitted from generation to generation. The genes that are responsible for the synthesis of proteins in nerve fibers begin to mutate. Due to their mutation, a disease appeared that caused burning feet. There is no point in talking about a complete cure, the disease will not be completely cured. In this case, anticonvulsants may be prescribed.
3) A tumor. When a neoplasm appears in the human body, antibodies also begin to develop sharply. They may not always be useful. Sometimes antibodies begin to affect the peripheral nerves of the entire human body. The first in their path are the fibers of the vessels of the legs - this is one of the main reasons why there is a burning sensation in the legs.
4) Inconvenient shoes. Often, it is because of improperly selected shoes that a burning sensation in the calves may appear. Don’t be upset that you will have to change your fashionable and stylish shoes to more “modest” ones. The most important thing in life is not only beauty, but also health.
Often, in order to cure a burning sensation in the calves of the legs, a course of antioxidants is prescribed. After taking this remedy, free radicals begin to disappear, and the destruction of nerves stops. Also, fiber damage stops, blood vessels return to normal. After this course, the body's work is getting better.
As soon as there are problems with the legs, quickly go to the doctor! Do not delay with treatment. If you find out the cause of the disease in time, you can avoid serious consequences.
