People always hope to find out how to understand their health simply and quickly in some way. Therefore, there are methods such as distinguishing faces, recognizing hand lines and looking at nails.
To be honest, most of them are nonsense and cannot stand what’s scrutiny. But sometimes doctors can really see some problems through [faces].
Of course, doctors do not judge the length of life by people, nor can they see that the printing hall shines brightly. What a good doctor can do is to know the physical condition roughly through his face and face, so as to judge the direction of examination and diagnosis.
Next, Dr. Clove will give a brief talk to let everyone know how to [know the appearance] [look at the face].
Have a black and yellow complexion
[The face is black and yellow, dark and dull], which is a common word when describing the face of patients with chronic liver diseases. This face is also called [liver disease face].
Endocrine dysfunction in patients with chronic liver diseases affects pigment metabolism and will cause pigment deposition on the skin. If patients with liver cirrhosis are complicated with adrenal hypofunction, pigment deposition can be aggravated. The skin is dry and rough, dark and dull.
Acute liver injury often leads to jaundice. Hepatocyte function is damaged and bilirubin cannot be normally handled, resulting in yellow skin, mucous membrane and white eyes.
Of course, eating too many pumpkins and carrots may also cause [yellow dye], but white eyes and mucous membrane color are usually normal. Moreover, serious liver diseases often have obvious and special smell-[liver odor]. Doctors often combine [complexion] and make a preliminary judgment.
Gray edema
[Pale and swollen complexion] Be careful of kidney problems. Uremia patients often have this state of face.
The kidneys secrete hormones that promote erythropoiesis. When there is a disease, the function is impaired, resulting in a decrease of red blood cells and anemia, which makes the complexion look gray.
At the same time, the filtration function of the kidney decreases, excess water cannot be discharged in the form of urine, and edema is easy to occur.
If there is still less urine and ammonia smell in the mouth, the kidney should be checked in time.
Pale and sallow
[sallow and gaunt], is it anemia?
Malnutrition or excessive blood loss will cause the reduction of hemoglobin, the red substance in the blood, which is anemia. When yellow people are anaemic, their skin will look pale and sallow.
In addition to changes in complexion and nail color, anemia can also have fatigue, dizziness, tinnitus, palpitations, dyspepsia, less menstruation and other manifestations.
Check the blood routine, can determine whether there is anemia.
Eyes are big and frightening/eyes are small and there is no spirit.
Big eyes look good, but scary ones are not good.
The eyes of patients with hyperthyroidism (hyperthyroidism) will stare very wide and protrude outward, sometimes without blinking for a long time. This is the result of excessive thyroxine secretion. Such big eyes are not good-looking at all.
In addition, patients will also be excited, eat too much but lose weight. If not treated in time, other organs will also be affected.
What if thyroidism is hypothyroidism?
There will be some edema on the face, showing narrow eyes and no spirit. In addition, the hair on the head and face will fall off, such as eyebrows falling off, baldness, men’s beard sparse, etc. This is the reason why the metabolism of the patient slows down.
Facial edema
No one wants a swollen face.
If the face is chubby, a poke is a pit, the meat does not rebound, but the body is very thin, which is often hypoproteinemia caused by severe malnutrition and severe protein deficiency.
The face is swollen and there is no pit when poked. Especially after getting up in the morning, swelling around the eyes may be a symptom of nephritis.
Hormonal round face
In the storytelling, people are praised for their handsome looks and good looks. They often say that their faces are like a full moon in a silver basin.
However, doctors seldom equate [the face looks like a silver basin] with handsome men, but associate it with the side effects of glucocorticoids.
One of the side effects of long-term use of glucocorticoids is that fat is abnormally distributed and accumulates on the face and back.
Long-term use of glucocorticoids is often seen in the treatment of rheumatic immune diseases, such as lupus erythematosus. Because there is no other better method to replace, doctors can only carefully adjust the dosage to reduce side effects. After all, compared with the danger of the primary disease, relatively less harmful side effects have to be tolerated.
Lip skew
If the face is crooked badly, many people’s first reaction is stroke or facial paralysis.
But if there is only a slight skew, Doctors often help them judge by asking patients to do some actions, such as bulging their cheeks, baring their teeth, and even closing their eyes hard-these actions can reflect the situation that facial nerves innervate muscles. If the left and right muscles cannot balance their efforts, the skew will become more obvious: there is air leakage while baring their teeth, or it is difficult to close one eye, etc.
If you find a skewed quarrel, don’t delay and go to the hospital in time. Because this may be the precursor of stroke.
These are some simple little knowledge about judging diseases through facial conditions. Knowing these, do you understand the meaning of “don’t make up before seeing a doctor”? Yes, cosmetics can cover up the manifestations of diseases, affect doctors’ judgment and delay the illness. It is never a [good thing].
Finally, I also hope that all readers of Dr. Clove will not have the above problems. A healthy face is your most beautiful appearance!
