What causes eyelid edema and how does eyelid edema cause?

Edema refers to the accumulation of excessive body fluid in the tissue space outside the blood vessels, which is one of the common clinical symptoms. Edema is a manifestation of systemic gasification dysfunction, which is closely related to the lungs, spleen, kidneys, and three focal organs. According to the different symptoms, it can be divided into two categories: yang water and yin water, which are commonly found in nephritis, pulmonary heart disease, liver cirrhosis, nutritional disorders and endocrine disorders.

First of all, it is necessary to clarify the cause of edema, recommend a hospital examination, and then do **. Some people will have a swelling in the eyes if they drank too much water last night, and then try not to drink a lot of water at night, so that the edema will not appear.

1. Drinking too much water before going to bed.

Many people like to drink water before going to bed, but if you drink too much water before bed, your eyelids may be puffy when you wake up. The tissues of the eyes are relatively loose, and if you drink too much water at night, the water will accumulate under the surface of the eyelids, resulting in the expansion of the eyelids. If the puffiness of the eyelids is caused by drinking too much water, it can usually be resolved by waking up on its own.

Second, it is caused by crying.

When we encounter something sad, we may solve it by crying, and when we cry, the blood flow in the eyes will also increase, and the tear glands will also secrete a lot of tears, and the water and salt in them will cause the angioedema of the eyes, so the eyelids will be swollen after crying.

3. Stay up late often.

At present, more and more young people have irregular schedules and often stay up late, which will not only affect their physical health, but also affect the rest of their eyes, making their eyes swollen, and in serious cases, they will be covered with red blood.

4. Eating too much salty food.

In daily life, many people have a heavier diet and like to put more salt when cooking. However, a high-salt diet is not good for your health, it will lead to water retention, and it will also cause the speed of lymphatic circulation to decrease, if you eat too salty food for a long time, there will not only be water retention in the body, but also accumulate a lot of toxins, resulting in puffy eyelids.

5. Renal dysfunction.

If there is a kidney dysfunction, such as acute nephritis, then the eyelids will also be swollen, which is more likely to appear after waking up in the morning. If the eyes are often inexplicably swollen, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time to check the kidney function.

Common causes of eyelid edema include staying up late, lack of sleep, eye strain due to overuse of the eyes, drinking plenty of water before bedtime, sleeping with pillows too low, or preferring to sleep on your side.
