Thumb twitching in women is due to more than four reasons, which may be physiological factors or related to hypocalcemia, nerve entrapment, epilepsy and other causes.
1. Physiological factors: If the hand is over-exerted and the muscles are strained, twitching may occur due to the accumulation of lactic acid in the muscles.
2. Hypocalcemia: due to the serious lack of calcium in the body, the calcium level in the blood is too low, resulting in increased excitability of the muscle nerves, which may cause twitching symptoms of the thumb, and may be accompanied by tingling sensation in the fingers and toes and other symptoms.
3. Nerve compression: Prolonged movement of the wrist or elbow joint may compress the nerve tissue, causing the human nerve ischemia and hypoxia, resulting in abnormal sensory and motor functions in the thumb area, which in turn leads to the emergence of the symptoms of thumb twitching.
4. Epilepsy: When epilepsy is partial seizure, it can be manifested as involuntary twitching of one side of the limb, such as thumb twitching, etc., which can be diagnosed through EEG examination.
Thumb twitching in women can also be caused by other reasons, it is recommended to go to the regular hospital for medical treatment.
