Vascular Disorders
Vascular diseases are a growing epidemic in the United States and worldwide. Different conditions that affect the circulatory system rise as the aging population grows, and obesity, which often leads to chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes, increases.
The blood vessels are the natural highways to circulate blood throughout the body. Therefore, any issue affecting the arteries and veins may disrupt circulation and lead to severe complications and even death.
One of the effects of poor circulation is neuropathy. The lack of blood flow or inflammation in the blood vessels can cause serious and permanent nerve damage. It may occur secondary to diabetes or other conditions involving the circulatory system, like aneurysm, stroke, hypertension, and peripheral artery disease.
There are many types of neuropathies, as there are many types of vascular diseases. While most are associated with lifestyle factors such as poor diet and lack of physical activity, others may be hereditary or caused by both and other reasons. Treating the underlying cause of vascular disorders will also clear out the symptoms of neuropathy.
