What happens when a woman’s left eyelid twitches?

There are many times when people's eyelids twitch, and many people know that if the left eye twitches, it will bring good luck, but if the right eye twitches, it will bring disaster. However, there is no scientific basis for this. Some female friends will find that their left eyelid twitches, and they don’t know what’s going on. Next, let’s ask an authoritative expert to explain to you why women’s left eyelid twitches.

Eyelid twitching

Eyelid twitching is divided into upper eyelid twitching and lower eyelid twitching

In life, many people have experienced eyelid twitching. Twitching often occurs in the upper eyelid and sometimes in the lower eyelid, and is not controlled by a person's thinking or consciousness. Eyelid twitching can be divided into physiological and psychological. The former usually passes quickly and sometimes lasts for a few days; the latter is more serious and tends to develop progressively.

Eyelid twitching can be divided into physiological and psychological

It is understood that the common causes of eyelid twitching in life include excessive fatigue, tension, eye diseases or improper use of the eyes, as well as trauma. These factors can stimulate the eye nerves, causing muscle contraction, and then cause muscle twitching.

Physiological eyelid twitching is generally mild. If it is caused by overwork, it will get better after rest. Even if there are causes such as inflammation, it can be relieved through treatment. The cause of eyelid twitching after hemifacial spasm is in the brain, which is difficult to heal on its own, and the development trend is progressive worsening.

Causes of eyelid twitching

Many people believe that eyelid twitching means good things are happening or bad things are happening.

Medically speaking, the scientific name for eyelid twitching is "eyelid tremor", which is mainly caused by the repeated contraction of a very thin muscle in the eyelid - the orbicularis oculi muscle. There are two causes. One is due to lack of rest and sleep, or due to anemia, excessive smoking and drinking, and the other is due to eye diseases, such as myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, conjunctivitis, keratitis...

The treatment method is to pay attention to rest. If the condition is serious, you can take an appropriate amount of quinine (only take it under the supervision of a doctor!!!). If the condition is particularly serious, you must go to the hospital!

In addition to citing scientific theories here, I will make a simple analysis of the possible consequences of eyelid twitching. If a person's eyelids are always twitching, on the one hand it is because of improper rest or fatigue and other reasons mentioned above, and on the other hand because of the constant eyelid twitching, it is bound to make people restless, which may really cause some accidents or mistakes while working. If you are walking, riding a bike or even driving on the road, there is a great possibility of causing an accident. This is basically the "disaster" caused by eyelid twitching. As for the "wealth" caused by eyelid twitching, I'm afraid it's just far-fetched!

With the quickening pace of life, eyelid twitching is increasingly bothering people's work and life, especially when the seasons change. For a long time, due to the lack of unified and standardized diagnosis and treatment standards in the discipline of facial neurology, there have been different explanations for "eyelid twitching", which are either one-sided or blind, leading to many misunderstandings in treatment and prevention.

1. Some people think that eyelid twitching is not a big deal. There is a saying among the people that "left eye twitching means wealth, right eye twitching means disaster", so they pay less attention to the left eye twitching, which results in delaying the treatment of the disease. 2. Some people are too sensitive and go to treat the eyelid as soon as it twitches. Expecting quick results and immediate recovery, acting rashly and without considering the consequences. As a result, a common disease that was easily cured turned into an extremely difficult disease to cure. 3. Confusing or uncertain symptoms. Some people mistakenly treat eyelid twitching as spasm, and some even treat eyelid twitching caused by the sequelae of facial paralysis as spasm.

Sun Liangui, director of the Beijing Yijiyuan Facial Neurology Research Institute, analyzed more than 8,000 visual cases of facial nerve diseases in clinical practice and believed that whether it is eyelid twitching or facial muscle spasm, in addition to space-occupying lesions, most of them are due to factors such as mental tension, eye muscle fatigue, lack of sleep, precursors of chronic diseases and sequelae of facial paralysis, which weaken the conduction of nerve function, cause insufficient nutrition of the eyes, and form contact-type adhesions between capillaries and nerve endings, which pull on the muscles and cause involuntary twitching. The contact area between capillaries and nerve endings increases, and the contact adhesion becomes linear adhesion, and the throbbing becomes twitching, forming facial spasm, and the lesions are also in the eyes. From a diagnostic point of view, there is a clear difference between simple eyelid twitching and hemifacial spasm. In simple eyelid twitching, the facial muscles generally do not have sunken, asymmetrical nasolabial grooves, or linear atrophy bands on the cheeks; when blinking, there is no feeling of pulling in the orbicularis oris muscle.

In fact, eyelid twitching is something that everyone may encounter in life, and for most people, it can disappear on its own in a short period of time. Therefore, when your eyelids just twitch, do not seek treatment immediately. Instead, pay more attention to rest, relax your mind, and maintain a good attitude. At the same time, pay attention to observe whether the eyelid twitching is gradually decreasing or increasing, whether there is a trend of expanding downward, and whether there is a linear pulling sensation from the area around the eyes to the corners of the mouth. In addition, look in the mirror and feel to see if there are any obvious atrophy (depression). If your eyelids still twitch after a week, you should go to a professional medical institution for diagnosis and treatment.

Generally, eyelid twitching occurs more frequently when you are overly tired, use your eyes for too long or lack of sleep. Other factors such as strong light, stimulation caused by drugs, foreign objects blown into the eyes, frequent smoking and drinking, etc. can irritate the eyes and cause eyelid twitching.

It is normal for your eyelids to twitch for a few seconds to a few minutes. It will recover automatically after a period of time. You can also close your eyes and take a rest, or apply a hot towel to your eyes to shorten the time your eyelids twitch.

The above is the relevant article about women’s left eyelid twitching. I hope that after reading the above article, you can have a comprehensive understanding of why women’s left eyelid twitching occurs, so that if eyelid twitching occurs in the future, you can get timely treatment.
