What are the common causes of numbness and tingling in gynecology?
Numbness and tingling can be caused by several factors in gynecological patients. Some of the common causes include:
Pelvic Nerve Compression: This can occur due to fibroids, ovarian cysts, or other pelvic masses that exert pressure on nerves. Endometriosis: This condition can lead to nerve entrapment and cause sensory symptoms. Pregnancy: As the uterus expands, it may compress nearby nerves, leading to numbness, especially in the legs. Hormonal Changes: Hormonal fluctuations during menopause or menstruation can sometimes cause transient numbness or tingling.
