What causes water retention under the eyes

There are more reasons for patients to develop edema in the eye bags, such as mechanical irritation such as rubbing the eyes, allergic reactions, infections, systemic diseases, and so on. Edema under the eyes is a common symptom in ophthalmology, and patients need to go to the ophthalmology department of the hospital in time, so that the doctor can clarify the specific cause. Mechanical stimulation caused by eye rubbing is the most common cause of edema under the eyes, generally speaking, it is relatively easy to subside, with ice towels and cold compresses, can be faster recovery. Once the skin under the eyes of an allergic patient comes into contact with allergens, such as cosmetics, skin care products, hair dyes, etc., an allergic reaction may be triggered, resulting in edema under the eyes. If the patient’s eye bag tissue is infected, such as granuloma, folliculitis, etc., the patient may form eye bag edema due to inflammatory stimulation. In addition, heart failure, renal insufficiency and other systemic diseases, patients may also be due to fluid stagnation in the body and edema bags under the eyes. It is recommended that patients with significant bags of edema under the eyes consult a doctor promptly to assess their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
