What is the cause of nail depression? These are the most common situations

Normally our nails are smooth, but if the nails are sunken, we should be alert, as such nails are related to nutritional deficiencies, long-term heavy physical activity, hypoxia, etc. Also, if the nails are sunken, we should pay attention to our liver health.

1. What is the cause of nail depression?

1. Oxygen deficiency

Hypoxia can cause the body's arterial oxygen partial pressure to drop, resulting in hypoxia in the peripheral tissue blood circulation, causing nutritional metabolic disorders in the nails and forming nail depressions.

2. Heavy physical labor

Among people who suffer from nail pitting, those who do heavy physical labor are more likely to suffer from it than those who do light physical labor. The intensity of labor has a certain impact on nail pitting.

3. Nutritional status

Iron deficiency anemia and Rayynolds' disease, which causes limb ischemia, can both cause nail pitting. Nails also have a certain relationship with nutrition.

4. Long-term exposure to cold water

Long-term contact of fingers with cold water, spasm of peripheral blood vessels and direct immersion of nails in cold water may also be the causes of nail depression.

5. Cold Factor

The incidence of nail depression in people who work outdoors for a long time is significantly higher than in other types of work.

6. Caused by abnormal cysteine ​​metabolism

Some people also believe that anti-A may be caused by abnormal cysteine ​​metabolism. You should first consider whether you have iron deficiency anemia. Of course, there may be other reasons, so you should go to the hospital for relevant examinations and conduct corresponding treatment after finding out the cause.

2. Sunken nails require "liver care"

Indented nails can cause trouble for many people. In fact, there are many people around us who are troubled by indented nails, but many people think that indented nails are a problem of the nails, and they adopt the approach of "treating the head for a headache and the foot for a foot pain".

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, sunken nails actually indicate ischemia of the liver, so these patients should pay attention to liver care. Mr. Chen has some knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine. He said that since the description was not very comprehensive, he could not recommend a specific treatment plan to the patient and suggested that the patient should seek detailed diagnosis and treatment from a doctor.

You can try the TCM method of nourishing the liver, which is to add a few Chinese herbs when you cook soup, such as angelica, wolfberry, white peony, etc. The dosage can be determined according to your appetite. There is no strict regulation, because these herbs have neutral properties, and using more or less dosage will not have much impact.

Liver care is not something that can be accomplished once or twice. It requires long-term persistence. There are no strict requirements on the dosage and frequency of medication taken every day, and how long it takes to be effective depends on personal factors.
