How is facial paralysis caused? How does facial paralysis occur?

Facial paralysis is caused by the following reasons: 1. Cold, many people use electric fans or air conditioners to blow on the head and face in order to be cold in summer. 2. Fatigue, fatigue is also one of the causes of facial paralysis. Nowadays, people's work pressure is getting bigger and bigger, and some people go out to play, go on business trips, can't get good sleep and rest for a long time, and the mental pressure is also very high, so it is easy to have facial paralysis; 3. Viral infection, for some cases of herpes in the ear and external auditory canal after facial paralysis, it is generally caused by viral infection.

The most common virus is the herpes virus, but there are also some such as influenza, polycranial neuritis, and local infection, which are also causes of facial paralysis; 4. Neurogenic or iatrogenic facial paralysis, neurogenic such as cerebrovascular disease, tumors can be caused, and some traumas, fractures, etc., damage to the facial nerve, can also lead to facial paralysis. There are also some beauty lovers who have undergone botulinum toxin** or facial cosmetic surgery, which damages the facial nerve and will also cause facial paralysis.

There are differences between the theories of TCM and Western medicine on the causes of facial paralysis, which are as follows:

1. Traditional Chinese medicine theory: Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the causes of facial paralysis include the invasion of external evil and the internal movement of the void wind. Among them, the internal movement of deficiency refers to the patient's internal insufficiency, such as liver and kidney yin deficiency, usual irritability, liver inflammation, and then facial nerve damage and facial paralysis.

The invasion of external evil refers to the daily failure to pay attention to avoiding wind and cold, which leads to nerve cold and facial paralysis;

2. Western medicine theory: Western medicine believes that facial paralysis is caused by the inflammation of the facial nerve caused by the virus.

Frontal paralysis is a simple name for it, in fact, its full name is peripheral facial paralysis, also known as peripheral facial nerve palsy. It is caused by this viral infection that causes inflammation of one of the facial nerves, resulting in a crooked mouth and eye on the ipsilateral side of the face.

Facial paralysis is mainly due to central nervous system lesions or peripheral nervous system lesions caused by facial muscle group movement disorders, there is no specific drug for facial paralysis, can be improved through acupuncture, massage, hot compress, massage and other physiotherapy and with the use of nutritional nerves and drugs to promote nerve repair, you can also take traditional Chinese medicine with the effect of strengthening the brain and replenishing qi, invigorating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and activating the meridians and meridians.

It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination of your problem, which may be caused by facial nerve problems and cerebrovascular diseases. The diagnosis is first confirmed in **.

1. Staying up late for a long time, poor sleep, excessive fatigue, and low immunity;

2. Secondary to viral infection or other viral infectious diseases, such as herpes zoster;

3. Emotional instability, excessive work pressure, and long-term sub-health status.

There are two main conditions of facial paralysis, central facial palsy and peripheral facial palsy.

Central facial paralysis is caused by brain diseases, such as cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, and brain tumors.

Peripheral facial paralysis is also the most common kind of facial paralysis, the cause of peripheral facial paralysis is unknown, it is considered that it is mostly caused by viral infection after blowing wind, cold, or autonomic instability, these factors can lead to local neurotrophic vasospasm, nerve ischemia, edema, so as to appear the symptoms of facial paralysis.

The ** of peripheral facial paralysis is mainly to use hormones to anti-inflammatory, reduce swelling, and use B vitamins to nourish the nerves in the early stage, and acupuncture can be used in the later stage to improve the patient's symptoms.

The prognosis for peripheral facial palsy is good, with recovery occurring within 1 to 2 months.

However, central facial palsy is caused by brain diseases, and the prognosis is relatively poor.

It depends a lot on your mental state, and patients usually develop a state of anxiety, fear, and depression before the onset of the disease, which can reduce your immunity.

Facial paralysis, medically known as facial nerve palsy, also known as bell's palsy, commonly known as crooked mouth, hanging oblique wind, etc., in fact, mainly refers to the facial expression muscles have functional disorders, generally patients will show mouth crooked, eyes deviated, is a clinical disease.

There is no limit to the number of people who will develop it, once the disease is diseased, the facial expression will basically be lost, which is a disease that makes patients very worried. So, what are the ** of facial paralysis?

1. Metabolic disorders lead to facial paralysis.

Metabolic disorders in the body, such as long-term lack of vitamin supplementation, diabetes, etc., may lead to facial paralysis.

2. Facial paralysis caused by viral infection.

Among the causes of facial paralysis, such as viral infections, such as alcohol poisoning, or prolonged exposure to toxic objects due to work and other reasons, members are also common causes of facial paralysis.

3. Traumatic facial paralysis.

Fractures of body organs such as the base of the skull and temporal bones, injuries to facial surfaces, surgical procedures for illness, and injections of toxic drugs such as alcohol, penicillin, and botulinum toxin into the area of the body are also common traumatic causes of facial paralysis.

4. Idiopathic facial paralysis.

Facial paralysis may also be caused by excessive fatigue, excessive facial movement, cold ears, and long-term cold wind. In addition, diseases such as purulent inflammation of the temporal bone, otitis media, labyrinthitis and other types of diseases may also cause facial paralysis, which requires more attention.

5. Facial paralysis caused by infectious lesions.

Infectious lesions are facial paralysis caused by the activation of herpes zoster, which was originally dormant in the sensory nerves of the facial nerve. In addition, mumps, influenza, local infection, malaria, scarlet fever, polycranial neuritis, etc. may cause facial paralysis.

6. Congenital facial paralysis.

Congenital facial paralysis refers to the fact that the child's facial nerve nucleus may develop before it is born, and some newborn or pediatric patients with facial paralysis are caused by this reason.

TumorsGenerally speaking, human facial neuroma and middle ear tumors can cause facial paralysis. Middle ear cancer can invade all over the nerves, causing facial paralysis, and jugular spheroid tumors can also cause facial paralysis.

Viral infections. Viral infections are the cause of facial paralysis. It is usually caused by the herpes zoster virus and is characterized by the presence of auricular herpes in patients with facial paralysis who experience severe earache and have a poor prognosis.

Facial paralysis due to acute and chronic otitis media.

The more common ones such as middle ear cholesteatoma are also common causes of facial paralysis if they erode and destroy the facial nerve bone canal and directly compress the facial nerve.

TraumaSome patients have facial paralysis caused by a basilar skull fracture after a car accident, and a fracture of the basilar skull or temporal bone affects the facial nerve in the person, thus causing facial paralysis. After the trauma, the focus is often on saving lives, so that the facial paralysis will be neglected, and if the facial paralysis occurs at that time, the injury may be serious.

There are several main causes of facial paralysis:

1. Infectious diseases: Hunter's syndrome, Lyme disease, encephalitis, otitis media, mastoiditis, labyrinthitis, mumps, etc.

2. Stroke: cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, etc.

Inflammatory immune diseases: idiopathic facial nerve palsy, Guillain-Barré syndrome, multiple sclerosis.

3. Tumors: brainstem tumors, facial nerve sheath tumors, acoustic neuromas, meningiomas, pontine cerebellar angle tumors, etc.

4. Diabetic neuropathy.

5. Trauma: temporal bone fracture, facial trauma, iatrogenic injury, neonatal birth injury, etc.

Stroke, sweating followed by cold wind.

First: Poisoning: Poisoning is also the main cause of facial paralysis.

It is also a common cause of facial paralysis, such as alcoholism. Long-term exposure to toxic substances, due to the toxic substances latent in life, long-term exposure will affect the nervous parts in the body to cause disorders, and then cause facial paralysis.

Second: tumor cause: If the person's metabolic ability is impaired or the body has a tumor, it will also cause the occurrence of facial paralysis**.

In this case, Sakura's disorder is related to a lack of vitamins in the body or the patient's diabetes, and the tumors that can cause facial paralysis generally include acoustic neuroma, skull base tumors, etc.

Studies have found that patients often have a history of infection before the attack, or have infectious lesions due to their own disease, which usually involves damage to the ears, face, or brain.

Facial paralysis is caused by many reasons, everyone is different, some nervous system problems, some environmental reasons, no matter how to seek medical attention in time, the chance of ** is very great.
