Girls sleeping leg cramps may be caused by physiological reasons, environmental stimuli, calcium ion deficiency, hormonal changes, lumbar intervertebral disc herniation, lower extremity vascular disease and other reasons.
1. Physiological reasons: such as excessive exercise, overwork and other factors lead to the accumulation of metabolites in the body, metabolites stimulate the muscles during sleep, causing leg cramps; may also be due to the long-term maintenance of a sleeping position, resulting in the lower limb blood vessels, nerve compression, resulting in numbness of the legs, cramping symptoms.
2. Environmental stimulation: due to the external temperature is too low, in the sleep did not do a good job to keep warm, leg muscle spasm, thus leg cramps.
3. Calcium deficiency: due to parathyroid disease and osteoporosis and other diseases in the body to reduce calcium ions, sleep leg muscle contraction, causing leg cramps.
4. Hormonal changes: Hormonal changes in women’s bodies during physiological periods, pregnancy and after menopause can cause leg cramps during sleep.
5. Lumbar disc herniation: due to lumbar disc herniation compressing the nerves innervating the lower limbs, it can induce muscle spasm and pain in the innervated muscles.
6. Lower extremity vascular disease: such as lower extremity arterial stenosis or occlusion, varicose veins of the lower extremity or thrombosis and other diseases, can cause poor blood circulation in the lower extremities, local metabolites accumulate to stimulate muscle spasm and cause cramp-like pain.
Simply based on the symptoms of girls sleeping leg cramps can not accurately determine the cause, but also need to be combined with the characteristics of the medical history, other test results in order to make an accurate judgment, to rule out physiological causes, it is recommended to consult a doctor in a timely manner under the guidance of a clear cause of the disease, and then line for further treatment.
