The eyes swelled in the morning? The reasons for the appearance of bags

The appearance of bags under the eyes, puffiness of the eyelids often remain without special attention, are written off as fatigue. They do not hurt, do not itch, so they are often not perceived as an alarm signal. However, if the eyes are swollen in the morning , the reasons are not always a lack of sleep, overwork. They can be more serious. The causative factors are often gastrointestinal diseases, gynecological, cardiovascular and other problems.

The causes of the appearance of bags under the eyes help to understand the knowledge of the anatomy of the ophthalmic zone. Eyeballs are kept inside the eye sockets in the fat layer with the help of a connective tissue membrane located behind the eyelids. The appearance of swelling earlier was explained by the loss of its elasticity, excessive stretching. Nowadays, the practice of plastic surgery proves that they are a consequence of the increase and edema of the fat layer, which, in turn, overstretches the connective tissue membrane under the skin. Bags formed for this reason do not disappear by themselves. But the reasons for the swelling of the eyes after sleeping in the mornings can be covered in inadequate rest, abuse on the eve of smoking, alcohol, excessive salt intake, which tends to hold water in the tissues of the body. However, a full sleep and special procedures (massages, compresses, masks) successfully eliminate this cosmetic defect.

In other cases, with repeated manifestations of the problem in question, it is worth thinking about what contributed to the fact that the eyes swelled. Causes Often lie in the presence of serious pathologies. In some people, swelling of the eyes that appear after sleep remains visible even in the evening, when the outflow of fluid from the tissues works better.

Causes may lie in the genetic inheritance of the pathology of increasing the fatty layer of the orbit. Such a predisposition can appear already in childhood. The formation of chronic bags can also contribute to the excessive exposure to ultraviolet radiation. Often lovers of the solarium complain that the eyes are swollen. The causes of changes in fatty tissue in this case lie in the body's desire to protect itself in hot climatic conditions, to retain a certain amount of moisture in tissues.

Both temporary and persistent swelling can be formed due to overwork of the body. For example, they often appear in people who have been working at the computer for a long time or who are doing small, painstaking work.

The protrusion of the periorbital fiber can be observed in elderly people, which is explained by the loss of elasticity and elasticity by the tissues. In women, the appearance of edema often indicates an imbalance of the hormonal background, menstrual cycle disorders. They can appear during pregnancy, puberty, in the premenopausal period.

If there is a certain pattern in the appearance of complaints that the eyes have swelled again, the reasons probably lie in various diseases that contribute to the retention of fluid in the fat periorbital tissue. The possibility of reversibility of the phenomenon depends on the stage and type of the disease. It is more often allergic reactions, sinusitis, diseases of the digestive tract, cardiovascular system. So, the most common cause is kidney disease. However, it should be noted that, along with eye swelling, edema of the extremities, puffiness of the face is observed.

Often allergic diseases (allergic rhinitis, conjunctivitis and others), as well as acute respiratory infections cause edema of the facial tissues. At the same time, they involve the fatty layer inside the eye sockets in the process.

In cardiovascular diseases, bags are formed because of a violation of blood circulation and its outflow from peripheral tissues. Edema of a chronic nature leads to the formation of dark circles around the eyes, resembling bruises.

What to do if the eyes swelled? Treatment   It is carried out only after a detailed examination of the patient's body. Knowing the true cause, it is easier to eliminate the visible cosmetic defect. So, if the allergic reaction is to blame, the drops containing the antihistamine component are prescribed, which reduces the inflammatory response of the eyelid tissues and the eyeball itself. Such drugs as "Opatanol", "Allergodil", "Cromogexal", "Lecrolin" are usually used as part of monotherapy in the treatment of allergic diseases or combined with local antihistamine medications. With the revealed pathological conditions, the main thing is the treatment of the underlying disease, you can achieve a positive result by following all the doctor's recommendations.

Also, to get rid of swelling, now it is proposed to use special masks with the developed therapeutic composition, the use of microcurrents, lymphodrainage massage and other physiotherapeutic procedures. If it is not possible to achieve the expected effect, a plastic eyelid lift -blepharoplasty is performed.

At home, the compresses from broths of plants (dill, chamomile, parsley, sage) have an excellent effect. In the future, to prevent edema, excessive doses of ultraviolet and alcohol should be avoided, salt intake should be limited, and the existing ophthalmic and other diseases that cause eye swelling should not be ignored.
