Neuropathy refers to a condition that affects the nerves in the body, leading to symptoms such as pain, tingling, or numbness. It can occur in various forms, with peripheral neuropathy being the most common, impacting the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord. This condition can result from various causes, including diabetes, infections, and exposure to toxins. The severity and type of symptoms can vary depending on which nerves are affected. In some cases, neuropathy can lead to muscle weakness or difficulty with coordination. Treatment options may include medications, physical therapy, and lifestyle changes to manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
