Many people have cold hands to the touch, and it is far from always cause for concern. But a well-known doctor told in which cases this can be a sign of hidden diseases.

Coldness in the limbs is a manifestation of their insufficient blood supply. In some people, this is generally the norm, and you should not worry about it. Especially if the hands are cold from a young age.

Coldness in the limbs in old age can also be called a relative norm, because over the years, the adequate blood supply to remote areas of the body, which includes the hands and feet, is disturbed. However, vascular surgeon Kyaram Azatyan, who specializes in phlebology, said what else cold hands can talk about.

For example, about problems with the thyroid gland and other hormonal failures. Coldness in the hands can indicate atherosclerosis, and this is precisely the cause of poor blood supply to the extremities, diabetes and Raynaud's disease – this is the name of a vascular disease that affects small terminal arteries. As a rule, the disease just captures the hands and occurs 5 times more often in women than in men.

In order to change the situation, you can first give up bad habits by increasing the level of sports in your life, regularly measuring blood pressure blood pressure and doing cholesterol tests.

Also, according to the expert, changes in the diet will help. Well, timely visits to doctors are also important, because they detect some diseases, which in the initial stages are manifested by coldness in the extremities.
