Paresthesia

Numbness in your hands or feet?

It could be paresthesia, a symptom of menopause.

Paresthesia

What is paresthesia?

Paresthesia is often referred to as ‘tingling extremities’ because it’s a sensation most often felt in the hands, arms, feet and legs.

It can present itself as a feeling of numbness or the type of sensation referred to as ‘pins and needles’ following pressure on a limb making it ‘fall asleep’.

It can be an unexpected and irritating symptom of menopause.

Why is paresthesia a symptom of menopause?

Estrogen, one of the primary hormones that are in a state of flux during peri/menopause, has a complex effect on the central nervous system.

When it is thrown off balance during peri/menopause this can affect the nervous system.

Depleted estrogen levels also lead to thinner skin which is more susceptible to cracking and wrinkling.

Weak skin may also become sensitive giving way to tingling or numb sensations.
