Ask
Hello doctor,
More than 1 year ago, I fell and broke my palm and went to the hospital to have stitches, since then my hand is still numb just like when the hospital doctor injected anesthetic to stitch. , the hand still moves normally but around the suture area is numb and almost no feeling to the touch. So the doctor asked me what is the cause of men's hand numbness? Thank you doctor.

Hello,
With the question “What is the cause of hand numbness in men? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
According to your description, your hand may have damage to the sensory branch of the nerve. This cause may be caused by the time you were injured, but you have not shown it right away, so you do not realize it. Therefore, you should go back to your surgeon or orthopedic surgeon for examination and electromyography to check nerve function. Only then will there be the best advice for you.
If you still have questions about men with hand numbness, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
