Bags under the eyes can appear in every person, be it a man or a woman, and this does not decorate a person at all. Rather, they talk about the wrong way of life, sleepless nights, and also quite often about health problems. There are a great many reasons for their occurrence - both excessive salt intake and hormonal disruptions, but only a qualified specialist is capable of deciphering this “signal” of the body, and carrying out the appropriate tests, which will already form a picture of what is happening.

The causes of this phenomenon are puffiness or growth of adipose tissue, and it is in the elimination of these causes that the solution to the problem of bags under the eyes lies.

The anatomical structure of the orbit

It all starts with the structure of the eye: the eyeball is surrounded by fatty tissue, which performs a protective function. It is she who in most cases is the cause of edema and bags under the eyes. This adipose tissue (or preorbital fiber, in medical terms) from the skin of the eyelids is separated by a thin membrane of connective tissue. It controls the location of adipose tissue within the orbit, and if the adipose tissue does not extend beyond the orbit, the bags do not appear.

The causes of the appearance of bags under the eyes are associated precisely with the emergence of fatty tissue beyond the orbit. This may be due to either the proliferation of fatty tissue, or its swelling. But sometimes bags under the eyes are formed due to some diseases.

Consequences of malnutrition

If you wake up and see such an unpleasant picture on your face in the morning, it is connected with the edema of fatty tissue, and by evening the skin under the eyes will become normal. This is due to water retention in the body. Most often this leads to the use of products with a high content of salt. Also, the fluid in the body detains a large amount of alcohol, which is why it is often for those who walked well the night before, in the morning there are circles and bags under the eyes.

Another reason is lack of sleep. Bags under the eyes of men often appear precisely for this reason. They try to build a career, stay at work, sleep for 5–6 hours a day instead of the required 8–9.

The growth of fatty tissue

The growth of fatty tissue and the thinning of the connective tissue membrane leads to the release of fatty tissue from the orbit, its accumulation in the subcutaneous layer. This is most often associated with age changes.

Such swelling on the face of the baby appear for the same reason, and in this case only the operation will help. In children, this may be due to a genetic predisposition to the growth of fatty tissue.

If bruises and bags under the eyes appeared in the morning and passed during the day, it is necessary to reconsider the diet of the child - remove the salty food and give the child a good sleep.

Color features

With age, the growth of adipose tissue and its release under the skin of the lower eyelids increases. As a rule, circles of dark color appear around the eyes. At a later age, it is black bags under the eyes, at a younger one - blue ones. Red bags under the eyes appear in violation of the blood supply - the vessels burst. Then the blood seeps through the pores of the membrane to the adipose tissue that has already left it and the skin becomes red. In this case, you need to consult a doctor.

Such a defect on the face does not always appear only due to improper diet, lack of sleep or age-related changes. Bags under the eyes can be a manifestation of the disease. One of the reasons is a dysfunction of the kidneys. In this case, there is also an increased body temperature, too frequent or, conversely, rare urination, back pain. This all indicates the appearance of glomerulonephritis or pyelonephritis.

If the appearance of such a defect on the face is accompanied by fever, pain at the site of swelling or in the forehead, as well as discharge from the nose or congestion, this indicates rhinitis, sinusitis or sinusitis. If the accompanying factors are sneezing, itching, transparent highlights  from the nasal cavity, respiratory failure after contact with animals, flowers, wool products, cleaning the apartment, then an allergy may be the cause.

The reason for the appearance of bags under the eyes may be in violation of the thyroid gland. Their appearance is accompanied by an increase in the neck, difficulty in swallowing or breathing. In this case, it is a signal of either hyperthyroidism or the appearance of tumors in the area of ​​the thyroid gland.

Bags under the eyes of women can occur due to an ovarian dysfunction. In such cases, there is always a violation of the cycle. Perhaps an increase in body weight. There is weakness and depression.

This aesthetically unpleasant phenomenon, accompanied by shortness of breath and swollen legs, signals problems with the heart. In such cases, the bags under the eyes appear within a few weeks and appear every morning, and descend towards the evening.

Such a defect may indicate lung disease or the formation of malignant tumors. In this case, the swelling is a swelling, and the whole face may swell. Headaches appear, nasal bleeding is observed, which are often accompanied by coughing, and the voice becomes hoarse. With these symptoms, a malignant tumor can be found in the lungs, in the mammary gland or in other organs.

In any case, when such an undesirable phenomenon is accompanied by any other symptoms, even if it is a simple cough, an urgent need to consult a doctor.

Treatment and Prevention

In addition to the bags under the eyes associated with diseases, the formation of the rest is fairly easy to prevent or slow down. Sleep and healthy food – effective means. It is necessary to exclude from the diet too salty food; the amount of fluid drunk per day should not be less than 1.5–2 liters.

Get enough sleep. Healthy sleep is at least 8 hours a day, and less is not getting enough sleep. In the morning, wash with cold water or rub the skin in the eye area with a small ice cube to relieve swelling.

Raw potatoes relieves puffiness well. Keep it should be 10-15 minutes, after which it is necessary to rinse the skin with cold water. Instead of potatoes, you can use fresh cucumber.

Sincerely, Irina and Igor

The skin of the upper and lower eyelids is thin and delicate, so it responds to certain changes in the body in the form of edema - bags under the eyes. There are many methods of dealing with their appearance, depending on the reasons.

Why bags appear under the eyes

The basis of the appearance of bags is edema - the process of the exit of the liquid part of the blood (plasma) from the vessels into the intercellular space of the skin and subcutaneous tissue of the eyelids. This is due to an increase in the permeability of the walls of small arteries and capillaries, and since the skin of the eyelids is thin and supplied with abundant blood supply, swelling is most noticeable on it. There are certain reasons for the increased permeability of the walls of blood vessels and swelling under the eyes:

1. Errors in the diet - increased consumption of table salt with food causes it to be deposited in the tissues and the release of plasma in them.
2. Alcohol abuse - bags appear as a result of the general intoxication of the body with products of alcohol exchange, this occurs after a certain period of time after its use (usually in the morning).
3. Chronic lack of sleep - leads to disruption of all internal organs, nervous system and blood vessels.
4. Depression, stress - the cause of the development of edema under the eyes, due to deterioration of the nervous system.
5. Long-term tobacco smoking - nicotine is a toxin that causes the formation of edema under the eyes.
6. Use of expired or low-quality cosmetic products for the skin of the face - common cause  bags under the eyes of women.
7. Allergy - entering a foreign allergen into the body causes a change in the walls of blood vessels with an increase in their permeability. May be accompanied by severe edema not only under the eyes, but also in other areas of the skin.
8. The development of chronic heart failure - insufficient pumping function of the heart leads to stagnation of blood and the release of plasma in the tissue. Manifested bags under the eyes in the evening, possible edema  skin of the legs and abdomen.
9. Pathology of the kidneys (glomerulonephritis, pyelonephritis) - swelling under the eyes appear in the morning after sleep and disappear by noon. The cause of such edema is renal impairment of salt metabolism in the body.
10. In infants, the cause of permanent bags under the eyes can be congenital pathology of the heart or kidneys, so when they appear, you must undergo a full examination.

3. It is enough to get enough sleep, sleep is optimal from 22.00 to 6.00.
4. Smoking people need to smoke less, and even better to get rid of this habit.
5. Do not abuse makeup, as it can help to mask the bags, but does not remove, but rather provokes their gradual increase.
6. In the case of heart failure or pathology of the kidneys, consult a doctor in order to obtain adequate treatment.
