Patient's question:
I am 25 years old, male. Recently, I have noticed that my eyelids are always swollen, and I don't know if it's because of an illness or lack of sleep. What are the reasons for eyelid swelling?Doctor's answer:
Eyelid swelling can be physiological or pathological. Generally, physiological swelling is caused by poor sleep, an unsuitable pillow, or crying for too long. Pathological eyelid swelling is divided into inflammatory and non-inflammatory types. Inflammatory swelling is caused by recurrent eye inflammation, while non-inflammatory swelling may be due to allergies, heart disease, hypothyroidism, nephritis, etc. During treatment, patients need to follow a regulated diet, maintain a regular sleep schedule, actively participate in physical exercise, and regulate their physical and mental health. It is also important to maintain personal hygiene and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
