    Cold thighs are usually related to inflammation and infection of peripheral nerves, and it cannot be ruled out that it is caused by lumbar disc herniation. If the endocrine and metabolic function is reduced, it will also be accompanied by cold thighs. The specific reason requires going to the hospital to complete relevant examinations, and it can also be evaluated based on other clinical symptoms in daily life.

    1. Peripheral nerve inflammation

    There are many reasons for cold thighs, and the reasons may be different for each person. If diabetes occurs in daily life, if the diabetes worsens, it will have an impact on the peripheral nerves, causing peripheral nerve blood circulation to slow down or peripheral nerve inflammation and infection, which will cause the skin on the thighs to feel a little cold. You can also choose to go to the hospital for an abrasive nerve function test to determine whether there is a decrease in peripheral nerve function, and then take drugs to promote blood circulation and anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor, such as Panax notoginseng capsules and cefixime.

    2. Lumbar disc herniation

    Lumbar disc herniation is also a relatively common disease. Most of it is caused by doing heavy physical labor for a long time or frequent lowering of the waist. Lumbar disc herniation will cause pressure on the nerves in the legs, accompanied by abnormal blood circulation and nerve pain. It will also be accompanied by cold skin. Traction and massage can be used to help recovery.

    3. Decreased secretory function

    Diseases related to metabolic and secretory hypofunction, such as thyroid insufficiency or adrenal secretion insufficiency, can also cause cold thighs. You need to go to the hospital to diagnose the cause and then provide symptomatic treatment.
