Neuropathies are disorders that affect the nerves in the body, leading to symptoms such as pain, weakness, and numbness. They can result from various causes, including diabetes, infections, injuries, and exposure to toxins. Neuropathies can impact different types of nerves, including sensory, motor, and autonomic nerves, which can affect sensation, movement, and bodily functions. There are many types of neuropathies, with peripheral neuropathy being the most common. Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination, medical history, and tests like nerve conduction studies. Treatment options may include medications, physical therapy, and lifestyle changes to manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
