eyelid hypertrophy

Introduction

Introduction In many cases, due to undercorrection, visual habits, and inadequate astigmatism correction, it can lead to blinking, and a long time will lead to hypertrophy of the eye. The so-called eye bags refer to the lower eyelid edema. Because the skin of the eye is very thin, it is prone to edema. Genetics is an important factor, and it becomes more and more obvious with age. In addition, kidneys are not very good, lack of sleep or fatigue can cause eye bags. This phenomenon is easy to make people look old. In addition, drinking water before going to bed, the next day is also easy to cause eye puffiness.

Cause

Cause

Causes of eyelid hypertrophy:

When the original balance is changed due to excessive accumulation of fat in the sputum or weak support structure of the squat, the limitation of sputum fat breaking through the squat is prominent. Part of the formation of the bags under the eyes is mainly related to heredity. Another is that the skin is loosened due to age and the muscles are slackened, causing eye bags, or the rest of the day is not good, and sleep is not good. This is also a cause of eye bags. For example, some people work under the computer for a long time, so there are more opportunities for eye bags. Primary eye bags often have a family history of genetics, more common in young people, and too much fat in the sputum is the main reason. Secondary eye bags are more common in middle-aged and older people and are often a comprehensive performance. In addition, it is crying, various eye infections, food, drugs or cosmetic allergies can cause eyelid edema. Eye bags not only make people appear aging, fatigue, and even affect vision.

The eye bags are true and false, and the cause of the false eye bags is very complicated. As the treatment and elimination of the cause, the eye edema will subside. However, due to the ageing of the tissue, the true eye bags, it is difficult to make any drugs and superb make-up disappear and cover up. Moreover, the swelling, sagging, and sagging of the lower eyelids are becoming more and more obvious with age.

Examine

an examination

Eyelid hypertrophy examination diagnosis:

1. Perform secretion culture and drug susceptibility test, and determine which bacterial infection is based on the experimental results.

2. If there is falling debris, the infection of the fungus or parasite should be considered. The agar medium can be used to culture the debris and further microscopic examination.

3. A biopsy is necessary in cases of refractory or suspected tumors.

Diagnosis

Differential diagnosis

Symptoms of eyelid hypertrophy and confusion:

Eyelid abscess: caused by staphylococcal infection, mostly caused by traumatic infection or following periostitis and osteomyelitis. The eyelids are markedly red and swollen, and there is an induration in the touch, followed by induration and softening, forming an abscess as a clinical feature. It belongs to the category of traditional Chinese medicine eyelids, which is caused by the invasion of wind, heat and fire.

Diagnostic points:

1. The eyelids and the conjunctiva are highly edematous, with induration or abscess formation.

2. Before the ear or to the lymph nodes.

3. Increased body temperature.

4. Increased white blood cell count.

5. Can be complicated by septic venous inflammation caused by cavernous sinus embolization.

Eyelid relaxation: Eyelid relaxation syndrome, also known as eyelid lysis, atrophic eyelid ptosis, is a rare eyelid disease characterized by recurrent episodes of eyelid edema in adolescents, with thinning of the eyelids, loss of elasticity, increased wrinkles, and color Changes can be accompanied by clinical manifestations such as lacrimal gland prolapse, ptosis and shortening of the cleft palate.

Eyelid edema: Eyelids, commonly known as eyelids, are divided into upper and lower parts. The eyelid skin is the thinnest part of the whole body skin, and the subcutaneous tissue is loose, so it is prone to fluid accumulation and edema. It should be noted that the eyelid edema caused by the disease is usually accompanied by other symptoms, such as edema of the lower limbs, poor urine, waist and knee pain, asthma, cold, etc. If the patient finds that he has the above symptoms, he should actively find the cause. In the treatment of primary disease, only the primary disease and systemic disease improved, and the eyelid edema gradually subsided.

Conjunctival hyperemia: eyeball congestion is divided into two types: shallow and deep. The former is bright red, called "conjunctival hyperemia"; the latter is dark red, called "ciliary congestion". Both have a "mixed congestion". The different congestion in these cases is very meaningful in the examination and diagnosis of doctors. It is also an important basis for judging the severity of eye diseases, but it is difficult for ordinary laymen to distinguish clearly.
