Causes for Carpal tunnel

Carpal tunnel Causes

The main cause of carpal tunnel syndrome is the pressure exerted on the median nerve. Carpel tunnel which protects the median nerve has almost no room for expansion, so any swelling around the tunnel exerts pressure on the median nerve. It may also be caused by repeated wrist movements or any injury to the wrist. Kidney failure can cause fluid retention in the carpal tunnel. This will exert pressure on the median nerve. It may occur during pregnancy or when a woman is on contraceptive pills. Some women may complain of carpal tunnel syndrome during menopause. Repetitive use of tendons causes carpal tunnel syndrome. Sometimes obesity can also cause carpal tunnel syndrome. Some physical characteristics like narrower carpal tunnel can also cause carpal tunnel syndrome.
