Do muscle twitches indicate disease? What is the reason?

The human body is an extremely complex organism because its tissues are composed of various coordinated parts, and different tissues have different independent functions. For example, muscles are responsible for the output of body strength and are the source of strength support for the human body to carry out various activities. But muscles may behave abnormally under certain special circumstances. For example, does muscle twitching indicate disease? What is the reason?

Simple muscle twitching cannot be considered as the occurrence of disease. It can be normal. It can also be seen as a symptom of discomfort caused by mental tension or local muscle strain. It is generally considered to be mild and has little effect on the body. It cannot be clearly considered as the occurrence of disease.

1. Causes

1. Cold stimulation. For example, if you exercise in an environment with cold water or cold air, muscle cramps are likely to occur if you do not do enough warm-up exercises.

2. Electrolyte imbalance, especially sweating during exercise in the summer, can cause electrolyte imbalance in the body and cause muscle cramps.

3. Muscle contraction disorder or damage. If the muscles are not relaxed enough due to continuous contractions that are too fast, spasms may occur. Or if the muscles are repeatedly micro-damaged during exercise, protective tonic contractions may occur.

(II) Performance

When the muscles spasm, the local area becomes hard and the pain is unbearable, and the fingers and toes bend involuntarily and are difficult to straighten.

(III) Processing

1. Pull the flexed fingers (toes) and hyperextend them so that the spasmodic muscles can be stretched and relieved, and then apply local massage and hot compress.

2. Get away from the stimulation of the cold environment and drink some salt water.

4. Prevention

1. Strengthen exercise, improve adaptability, and do adequate warm-up before exercise, especially when exercising in a cold environment. Massage the muscles that are prone to spasms appropriately.

2. Pay attention to keeping warm in winter. Do not stay in the water for too long when swimming in winter. When swimming in summer, if the water temperature is low, the swimming time should not be too long.

3. We sweat a lot in summer, so make sure to drink some salt water to replenish lost electrolytes.

4. When you are tired, you should avoid strenuous exercise for a long time.
