Understanding the Reasons Behind Restless Legs Syndrome

Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) is a neurological disorder that causes an irresistible urge to move the legs, often accompanied by uncomfortable sensations. If you have been experiencing restless legs syndrome, it's important to understand the reasons behind this condition to find effective treatment. Here at Truffles Vein Specialists, our dedicated team of Doctors specializing in Health & Medical, particularly Vascular Medicine, can provide you with the care and support you need.

Common Reasons for Restless Legs Syndrome:

1. Iron Deficiency: Low levels of iron in the brain can lead to RLS symptoms. Ensuring adequate iron intake through diet or supplements can help alleviate symptoms.

2. Genetic Factors: RLS can run in families, suggesting a genetic component to the condition. Understanding your family history can provide insights into your risk.

Other Factors that May Contribute to RLS:

• Medications: Certain medications, such as antipsychotics and some antidepressants, can trigger or worsen RLS symptoms.
• Pregnancy: Many women experience RLS during pregnancy, likely due to hormonal changes and increased blood volume.
