Possible complications

Bruises under the eyes (the reasons for women may lie in diseases) by themselves do not lead to any complications. They are indirect signs. Swelling and discoloration around the eyes can be avoided, but a medical examination is necessary.

When diseases resulting in bruises under the eyes are ignored, complications are possible:

• liver damage toxins;
• hepatitis;
• renal failure;
• hypertension;
• tumors of the heart;
• myocarditis;
• acute myocardial infarction;
• increased blood pressure;
• fragile capillary walls.

For some diseases, bruising under the eyes is characteristic and understandable.

They appear during treatment or complications:

1. Neuroses and breakdowns... A person does not sleep well, because of which his appearance suffers;

   

2. Injuries to the neck, upper spine, or humerus. While muscles and bones are recovering, blood flow to the head is below normal. Therefore, bruising around the eyes is normal;
3. Diabetes mellitus, vegetative-vascular dystonia, congenital or acquired heart disease... Such diseases are difficult to control, so at times the blood stops circulating in a normal rhythm. Due to a decrease in blood flow, bruises appear (primarily where the skin is thinnest);
4. Any diseases of the thyroid gland... An excess or a lack of iodine leads to the formation of bruises throughout the body, in particular in the area around the eyes;
5. Asthma... Airway problems lead to oxygen starvation. Darkening near the eyes is accompanied by blue discoloration around the lips and impaired lung function.

With these diseases, blue discoloration around the eyes appears suddenly and is not controlled. They pass on their own as soon as the complicated form recedes. When bruises appear under the eyes, regardless of the cause, women try to hide this defect with corrective cosmetics.

But if the source of the problem is not eliminated, it becomes systematic. Concealers or highlighters mask the symptom, but the disease remains. Therefore, leaving these signals of the human body unattended is dangerous to health.
