Eyelid swelling in women in their 50s is usually caused by accumulation of subcutaneous fat due to aging factors, allergic factors or nephrogenic edema.
1. Aging factor: for women in their 50s, aging factor causes local orbital septum tissue relaxation, and the fat in the orbit is more likely to expand to the eyelid skin.
2. Allergic factors: it is also a common cause of edema, such as local use of cosmetics, skin care products caused by allergies.
3. Nephrogenic edema: edema is caused by sodium retention due to abnormal kidney function, and it is most common in the eyelid area.
It is difficult for patients to determine which condition causes eyelid swelling, and they should go to the hospital as soon as possible for examination to confirm the diagnosis and treatment under the doctor’s guidance when accompanied by discomfort.
