Introduction
The formation of dark circles under the eyes may be caused by lack of sleep, genetic factors, endocrine disorders, conjunctivitis, or anemia. They can usually be alleviated through improvements in lifestyle habits, targeted treatment of the underlying condition, and proper eye care. If dark circles are severe or persist for a prolonged period, timely medical consultation is recommended. It is advised to ensure adequate sleep, avoid excessive eye strain, and maintain good eye hygiene and care.
The formation of dark circles under the eyes may be caused by lack of sleep, genetic factors, endocrine disorders, conjunctivitis, and anemia. Dark circles usually can be relieved by improving lifestyle habits, treating the underlying condition, and eye care. If the dark circles are severe or persist for a long time, prompt medical attention is recommended. Detailed explanations are as follows:
1. Lack of sleep: Long-term late nights or poor sleep quality can lead to poor blood circulation around the eyes, preventing the skin around the eyes from receiving adequate rest and recovery, thus forming dark circles. Improving sleep quality, ensuring sufficient sleep time, avoiding staying up late, applying warm compresses, and eye massage can help promote blood circulation and alleviate dark circles.
2. Genetic factors: Some people are born with thin skin around the eyes, making the underlying blood vessels more visible, thus making dark circles more likely to form. Eye concealer products and makeup techniques can be used to cover them, or medical aesthetic treatments such as laser therapy or surgery may be considered, but should be performed under the guidance of a professional physician.
3. Endocrine disorders: Poor diet and other factors may lead to endocrine disorders in the body, causing abnormal melanin metabolism, thus forming dark circles around the eyes. This may be accompanied by irregular menstruation, mood swings, skin problems, etc. It is recommended to adjust lifestyle habits, maintain regular作息 (作息 should be translated as作息 time), avoid staying up late and excessive fatigue, and use medications to regulate the endocrine system under a doctor's guidance, such as Propylthiouracil Tablets, Methimazole Tablets, Propranolol Hydrochloride Tablets, etc.
4. Conjunctivitis: Conjunctivitis may be caused by microbial infections, chemical irritants, and other factors, which may lead to eye congestion and swelling, thereby forming dark circles. Accompanying symptoms may include eye pain, itching, increased secretions, etc. Treatment may follow medical advice to use Olopatadine Eye Drops, Emedastine Eye Drops, Levofloxacin Eye Drops, etc., while maintaining eye hygiene and avoiding rubbing the eyes with hands.
5. Anemia: A decrease in the number of red blood cells or hemoglobin levels can cause anemia, which may lead to insufficient blood supply to the skin around the eyes, thus causing dark circles, accompanied by pale complexion, fatigue, dizziness, etc. It is recommended to follow a doctor's guidance for treatment using Ferrous Sulfate Tablets, Aminocaproic Acid Tablets, Ferrous Gluconate Capsules, etc.
It is recommended to ensure adequate sleep time, avoid excessive eye strain, and pay attention to eye hygiene and care to prevent the formation of dark circles.
