How can I get rid of fluid in my joints?

The first thing to look at is how the joint effusion is formed, whether it is noninfectious synovial edema or infectious purulent inflammation. If it is a purulent inflammatory effusion, surgical incision is required to drain the pus; If the effusion is non-infectious, it can be eliminated by activity.

If the amount of fluid in the joint is not large, the patient should pay more attention to rest, reduce the amount of exercise, and elevate the affected limb to promote venous return and relieve the symptoms of swelling. If the symptoms of swelling and pain are more obvious, oral swelling and pain relief drugs can be relieved, such as Qili San, and physical therapy such as massage and acupuncture can also be performed on the affected area to promote blood circulation and reduce uncomfortable symptoms.

There are several ways to eliminate fluid buildup in the joints:1Drug elimination, to take an appropriate amount of anti-inflammatory drugs under the advice of a doctor, as well as for the treatment of the corresponding pathogenic bacteria, antibiotics can also be used to eliminate the original pathogen; 2.

Surgical extraction method, through surgical positioning of the opening to drain the effusion, can quickly clean up the excess effusion in the knee or other joint parts in a relatively short time; 3.The joints need to be well rested, and the limb part where the affected area is located should reduce unnecessary activities.

Synovial fluid is secreted by the synovial membrane of the joint bursa and tendon sheath, which mainly plays the role of lubricating and protecting the joint. However, more synovial fluid in the cavity is not always better, and too much synovial fluid will form joint effusion, causing joint swelling and pain. The knee joint has the most synovial membrane in the whole body, and joint effusion is prone to occur here.

Then inject sodium hyaluronate, the main component of joint synovial fluid, which mainly covers the articular cartilage, protects the articular cartilage and joint synovium, removes pain-causing substances, and can significantly relieve pain and discomfort; It can also improve the contracture state of the joint and increase the range of motion of the joint.

3. Exercise**

Excessive exercise is one of the causes of joint effusion, but after joint effusion, it does not mean that exercise is prohibited, but reasonable exercise. Reasonable exercise can promote the secretion of synovial fluid, maintain the balance of synovial fluid in the joint cavity, and help prevent and treat joint effusion.
