When the autonomic nervous system does not function well, it is called neurovegetative dysautonomia.
The human nervous system consists of the central nervous system and and the peripheral nervous system. The central one refers to the brain and medulla , while the peripheral one refers to the cranial nerves. The peripheral nervous system includes cranial nerves, spinal nerves, and from the ganglia, particular groups of neurons that receive information from receptors.
The peripheral nervous system consists of the voluntary one, which is regulated by the five senses, and the involuntary or autonomic one, which regulates functions defined as involuntary.such as heart, respiration, digestive functions, urinary functions, etc.
When these functions of the involuntary system fail, the clinical consequences are many and serious; we then speak of neurovegetative dysautonomia.
Symptoms
The first functions that are impaired may be the one that controls blood pressure and heart rate, a condition referred to as “orthostatic pressure.”
Then there are many functions that fail such as digestive function with reduced motility of the digestive tract and intestines, diarrhea, dysphagia, and constipation. Urinary disorders of incontinence, sexual disorders, problems with body temperature fluctuations, and other disorders such as an alteration of wake-sleep rhythms, a general state of fatigue or exhaustion should also be considered.
