Women have dark circles under their eyes for a long time

Recently, I was watching TV and noticed that a female star had very serious dark circles under her eyes. What does it mean if a woman has dark circles under her eyes for a long time? Long-term dark circles under the eyes of women may be caused by irregular menstruation, kidney deficiency, gynecological diseases, liver disease and other reasons. Irregular menstruation in women means that their blood and qi are not flowing smoothly, which will be reflected on their faces. Below we will analyze in detail the formation and solution of dark circles under women.

1. Dark circles indicate female diseases

There are many gynecological diseases that can cause dark circles under the eyes. Common diseases include irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea, kidney deficiency, etc. In addition, some experts say that chronic gastritis, chronic liver disease and allergic rhinitis can also cause dark circles under the eyes.

1. Irregular menstruation

Irregular menstruation and dysmenorrhea can cause dark circles under women's eyes. Generally speaking, qi stagnation and blood stasis, as well as cold blood stasis in women's bodies can cause abnormal circulation of qi and blood throughout the body, leading to irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea and other phenomena. The disorder of qi and blood circulation usually manifests itself on the face, causing dark circles under the eyes. In addition to irregular menstruation, excessive menstrual bleeding, functional uterine bleeding, anemia or ovarian disease can also cause dark circles under the eyes.

2. Kidney Qi Deficiency

Women with kidney deficiency often have dark circles under their eyes, because kidney deficiency will cause the eyes to lack essence and nourishment, causing black to float under the eyes and dark circles to appear. In addition, irregular work and rest schedules and excessive sexual life can also cause dark circles under the eyes.

2. Who often has dark circles under their eyes?

In addition to women with irregular menstruation and kidney deficiency, who else will be "patronized" by "dark circles"?

1. People who lack sleep

When a person often stays up late, suffers from insomnia, and is overly tired, he will have dark circles under his eyes. Because when the eyes do not get enough rest, the eyelids will be in a tense contracted state, which can easily increase the blood flow to this area for a long time, causing the blood vessels in the subcutaneous tissue of the eye sockets to become filled, leading to congestion of the eye sockets, and leaving dark shadows.

2. People who have just recovered from a serious illness or are weak and sickly

Generally speaking, people who have been ill for a long time or have just recovered from a serious illness have relatively weak subcutaneous tissue around their eyes, which can easily cause skin pigmentation and easily show up on the upper and lower eyelids as a layer of dark circles.

3. People with chronic liver disease

Long-term dark circles under the eyes may also be an external manifestation of certain chronic diseases, such as chronic liver disease. Patients with long-term abnormal liver function and enlarged liver often have dark circles under their eyes for a long time. According to statistics, about 20% of liver patients will have pigmentation problems on the face and around the eye sockets.

3. What to do if dark circles persist for a long time?

1. Regular work and rest schedule

Many healthy people will have dark circles under their eyes to varying degrees. Generally speaking, as long as you have a regular schedule, get enough sleep every day, and pay attention to your diet, the dark circles will disappear quickly. If you sometimes feel your eyes are swollen and tired, you can do eye massage or warm compress.

2. Seek medical attention promptly

Although dark circles are not a sign of illness, if they do not go away and are noticeably dark in color, you should go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment in a timely manner.

3. Food therapy

People who have dark circles under their eyes for a long time should eat more fruits, vegetables and foods rich in vitamin C. Women with anemia or irregular menstruation should eat more blood-enriching foods, such as red dates, red beans, etc. You can also use wolfberry and pork liver to make wolfberry and pork liver soup, and use angelica, Chuanxiong, astragalus, safflower, chicken, rice and other ingredients to make chicken soup porridge to replenish the body, nourish the blood and achieve the purpose of removing dark circles.
