What causes swollen hands in women

When your feet are swollen, the soles of your feet will immediately become hot, making it inconvenient to walk. There are various reasons for swollen feet. It may be caused by wearing high heels for a long time, or it may be caused by squatting in the office for a long time, which causes poor blood circulation in the feet. In short, no matter what the reason is, it is necessary to cultivate a good lifestyle and good sitting posture. The following is a detailed introduction to several causes and types of swollen feet in women:

In clinical medicine, there are mainly the following types of swollen feet in women:

1. Edema before menstruation or during pregnancy. Women experience leg and foot swelling before menstruation or during pregnancy, which will subside after menstruation.

Second, reactive edema. Some people who work in hot weather and those who are relatively fat and don’t like to exercise are affected by the hot environment. The blood vessels in the skin spread out, and blood seeps into and accumulates in the subcutaneous tissue. Edema often occurs in the hands and feet. It disappears after summer, but it will occur every summer.

3. Postural edema: due to standing, walking, squatting or sitting for a long time, the blood flow back to the lower limbs is blocked, and the accumulation leads to edema, which can disappear after changing the posture.

4. Refractory edema: Women aged 20-40 years old may find slight edema on the upper eyelids of the face and pitting edema or tightness in the lower limbs after waking up. This edema gradually subsides with the movement. Most people think it is related to neurological factors and autonomic nervous system dysfunction.

5. Pathological edema: If hormone drugs, androgens, insulin glargine, etc. are used, swelling of the face, hands and feet may occur, which can disappear after stopping the drugs.

What causes women's feet to swell?

First, the common causes of edema are heart, liver, lung and kidney function. I hope you go to the hospital for a detailed examination. Find the cause and treat it. In addition, pay attention to avoid standing or sitting for long periods of time; stand up and walk every once in a while at home or in the office.

Second, excessive fatigue can also cause swollen feet. Just raise your feet above the height of your heart before going to bed.

Third, the human body contains a lot of water, and poor endocrine function can also cause edema. Foods should avoid heavy tastes. Salt is not just table salt, or things that taste salty, but actually refers specifically to all sauces, pickles, or drinks high in sodium. You should eat more fruits and vegetables (rich in potassium), because sodium and insulin will retain water in the body, while the function of potassium in the body is to excrete water.
