numbness and tingling

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.
