What causes numbness in the right hand in women?

Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Huang Shichang
1. Postural issues: Maintaining the same posture for prolonged periods, such as extended use of computers or smartphones, can easily lead to muscle fatigue and nerve compression, resulting in numbness in the right hand. 2. Cervical spondylosis: Cervical spine disorders may cause nerve compression, thereby affecting sensation in the arm. 3. Peripheral neuropathy: Certain conditions such as diabetes and multiple sclerosis can damage peripheral nerves, leading to hand numbness. 4. Poor blood circulation: Impaired circulation can also cause hand numbness. For example, maintaining the same posture for long periods or exposure to cold stimuli may affect blood flow.
