Many young women have foot cramps, and the pain is unbearable when they attack. What is the reason for women's foot cramps and what should women do? Here are the reasons why I recommend women's foot cramps for you. I hope I can help you.
1. Calcium deficiency
Body calcium deficiency is also an important cause of foot cramps. When hypocalcemia occurs in the body, the excitation threshold of neuromuscular junction decreases. If the stimulation intensity is lower than that under normal conditions, it can excite neuromuscular junction, so it is very easy to produce abnormal contraction and cause calf cramp.
In the usual diet, we must pay attention to balanced nutrition and mineral intake. If it is serious calcium deficiency, we should also consider taking calcium tablets to supplement calcium.
2. Excessive sweating
When the body perspires too much, a large amount of water and salt in the body will be lost. If it is not supplemented in time, the body will lack a large amount of electrolyte, and the metabolic waste in the body cannot be discharged from the body. Then a large amount of metabolic waste will accumulate in the body, resulting in the obstruction of local blood circulation of body muscles, which is easy to cause foot cramps.
3. Muscle overwork
Fatigue is caused by excessive exercise or excessive force of the legs during the day, the state of muscle tension at night has not been improved, and too many metabolites have not been metabolized in time. Its stimulation can cause cramps.
If it is strenuous exercise that leads to excessive muscle fatigue, it may also lead to foot cramps. Especially for those who want to take part in sports, they must pay attention to full warm-up before sports. If they have foot cramps during sports, they should be dealt with immediately and rest after the muscle spasm is relieved.
4. Disease impact
If the body is suffering from some diseases, it may also lead to frequent inexplicable foot cramps. Common diseases include heart disease, arteriosclerosis, hyperlipidemia and some chronic diseases. These diseases may affect the blood supply or affect spinal cord neuropathy.
If you have frequent foot cramps, you must go to the hospital for examination to avoid delaying your condition.
5. Sudden change of temperature
Sudden changes in temperature can also lead to foot cramps, especially when it suddenly gets cold. Because the temperature suddenly gets cold, the muscle's perception of temperature shrinks, causing muscle spasm and foot cramps.
6. Sleeping posture
Wrong sleeping posture can easily lead to foot cramps when sleeping at night.
① incorrect sleep posture leads to blocked blood flow in legs and muscle spasm in feet.
② due to the wrong sleep posture, some muscles of the foot are absolutely relaxed, which may also lead to foot cramps.
7. Excessive tension
Excessive emotional tension can also lead to foot cramps. Mental stress is regarded as a civilized disease. It may lead to imbalance of hormone levels in the body, rapid heartbeat, elevated blood pressure, accelerated or slowed metabolism.
8. Poor circulation
If there is poor blood circulation in the foot, it is easy to cause peripheral vascular diseases or varicose veins in the foot. Varicose veins may cause frequent soreness and cramps in the feet. At this time, you need to go to the hospital for relevant treatment.
1. Cramp at night
Include cramps that occur in any static situation, such as when sleeping or sitting still. Such cramps often occur in the gastrocnemius and some small muscles of the foot.
Some of these cramps are caused by the autonomic activity of the divine muscle, which makes the patient's feet move.
2. Heat stroke and cramp
It is related to dehydration and imbalance of electrolyte in the body. This kind of cramp most often occurs in athletes, especially in hot weather.
Typical heatstroke spasms occur after working in a hot environment for one or two hours. Heatstroke spasm may occur even within 18 hours after the end of the activity, and the muscles may be abnormal for several days.
Heatstroke spasms are more common in the large muscles of the palm, arm and leg. Sometimes some Female Sprinters also have heatstroke spasms on the abdominal wall.
