Lachrymation is one of the common diseases that most people suffer from, especially the elderly who often have this type of disease, which is not a big problem but does affect one’s quality of life.
The medical name for lacrimal disease is lacrimation. It is an eye disease in which tears spill out of the lid chord instead of following the normal path. It is generally distinguished as cold tears and hot tears depending on the hot and cold nature of the tears. Cold tears are more common in China and can affect one or both eyes, mostly in older or weaker women.
Hot tears are more common in older women and are caused by bacterial infections in the eye, with tears that are thick and yellow, or pus-like. The skin of the eyelids is red or red and painful.
In patients with cold tears, the tears are clear and thin, or they flow against the wind, and the eyelid skin is not red, swollen or painful.

Tear evidence is mostly associated with narrow or completely blocked tear ducts. When the tear duct is flushed, the tear duct may be narrowed or inaccessible, or there may be tear orifice ectasia, or the tear duct may be obstructed and have pus overflow. When the disease is mild, it does not affect the daily life much; when the disease is more serious, it affects the daily life and work of the patient.
The above remedies are more effective for patients without severe lacrimal obstruction, and have an auxiliary treatment effect for patients with severe obstruction. Patients with complete tear duct blockage still need to go to the hospital for surgery or treatment!
