Nails are also an important sign of human health, so what's the matter with vertical lines on nails? Seeing this problem reminds me of the scene of learning 'diagnostics' in Medical University. In diagnostics, there is a chapter about how to diagnose diseases through nails. So how to judge the health status according to the nail status?
1. The middle part of the nail is stuck in the shape of a spoon, indicating that it has diabetes, anemia, hyperthyroidism or malnutrition. There are dark red purple blood spots under the nails, which often indicate that they have epilepsy, blood diseases, etc.
2. Pestle finger: also called mallet finger. That is to say, the shape of fingers is like mallet, and the ends of fingers are expanded. Most of them are caused by tissue hypoxia, metabolic disorders and poisoning. It is common in respiratory diseases, some cardiovascular diseases and nutritional disorders. Pictured
3. Ordinary whiteness indicates anemia. There are brown stripes on the nails. That's a sign of liver disease. However, it should be noted that this brown stripe should appear on ten fingernails at the same time, which is liver disease; it can not be used as a basis for diagnosis alone.
4. White nail part indicates zinc deficiency. There are brown longitudinal lines or cracks on the surface of the nail, extending from the fingertip to the root of the nail, indicating intestinal inflammation or vitamin deficiency and iron deficiency.
5. People with shell nails should pay more attention to the small problems of spinal cord and nervous system. Too many white spots on the nails may indicate a digestive disease. Small particles on the nail may indicate drug poisoning or parasites in the body.
6. If there are many small pit like thimble on the nail, it may indicate the late stage of psoriasis. Swollen fingers, purple spots on fingernails, probably lung disease. Nail thinning, brittle, or even split, may indicate respiratory and circulatory diseases.
7. The half moon arc of the nail root accounts for 1 / 5 of the total nail, indicating that it is in good condition. The semilunar arc is not or too small, which may indicate poor digestive function. The person who can't see the half moon arc with ten fingers may indicate anemia, neurasthenia, hypotension and other diseases; the person with ten fingers half moon arc and too large at the same time may indicate that the body has lost the compensatory function, which may indicate the existence of chronic diseases.
Of course, the external manifestations of nails may only indicate some diseases, and some cases do not mean that 100% of the diseases can be diagnosed, but also need professional departments to see a doctor, and only through scientific diagnosis and treatment methods can the diagnosis be clear. We must not abandon the normal diagnosis or generalize.
