What causes swelling on the face?

Many people have experienced swelling on their faces, but many people don’t know what the problem is, so when it occurs, they just endure it, or some people choose to take some anti-inflammatory drugs. This is not the right approach. Randomly choosing drugs can cause great harm to your health. After swelling appears on the face, it is necessary to understand the cause of the swelling so that it can be improved.

However, there are many reasons for facial swelling. There is not only one problem but many aspects to it. Therefore, we need good methods to improve it.

What causes swelling on the face?

Symptom 1: Some middle-aged women, after getting up in the morning, suddenly find that their faces have become fatter, their eyelids and faces are slightly swollen, and the skin of their lower limbs has pitting edema or tightness. It will gradually subside as the day goes by.

Diagnosis: Idiopathic edema, or edema due to poor blood circulation. Facial edema often occurs in people with poor blood circulation and metabolism. This group includes people who are accustomed to drinking a lot of water before going to bed, people who often sit for a long time, people who usually have heavy tastes in their diet, people who often stay up late, and people who are born with poor metabolism. The resulting effect is that the blood circulation system becomes less effective, and there is no time to excrete excess waste water from the body. The water is retained in the capillaries and even seeps back into the skin, causing swelling. This swelling will gradually disappear automatically after you move around for a while after getting up.

Symptom 2: Some people, especially those who are overweight and inactive, often suffer from inexplicable lower limb edema due to the temperature difference in the environment in the hot summer. The edema will disappear on its own after the summer.

Diagnosis: reactive edema. This situation is often caused by the hot temperature causing the expansion of blood vessels on the surface of the body and increased arterial blood flow; the expansion of superficial veins increases the capillary filtration pressure; coupled with standing or sitting for a long time, body fluids accumulate in the gaps of the loose connective tissue under the skin and return slowly, thus causing lower limb edema, which is more common in obese or older people.

Through the above introduction, we have a good understanding of the reasons for facial swelling. After such a problem occurs, we must also adjust all aspects of ourselves, especially to increase our own exercise, which is very helpful in increasing blood circulation in the body and allowing the body to develop healthily.
