Neuropathy is a term used to describe a group of disorders that affect the nerves, specifically the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The PNS is responsible for transmitting signals between the brain, spinal cord, and the rest of the body, including the limbs, organs, and muscles.
Neuropathy occurs when there is damage or dysfunction to the peripheral nerves. This can happen as a result of a variety of factors, including diabetes, infections, traumatic injuries, autoimmune disorders, exposure to toxins, or inherited genetic disorders.
Symptoms of neuropathy can vary depending on the type and severity of the condition, but may include pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, and muscle atrophy. Treatment for neuropathy typically involves addressing the underlying cause, managing symptoms, and preventing further damage to the nerves.
