Swelling of the ring finger may be due to trauma, osteoarthritis, obstruction of venous return and other conditions.
1. Trauma: When the ring finger is damaged by external force such as smashing or squeezing, the local soft tissues are damaged, resulting in symptoms such as congestion, swelling and pain.
2. Osteoarthritis: Osteoarthritis can involve commonly used or weight-bearing joints, and it is mostly single in the early stage, which can lead to joint pain, swelling and dysfunction in finger joints or knee joints.
3. Obstruction of venous return: the patient’s ring finger may suffer from local blood circulation obstruction due to venous thrombosis and venous injury, which may cause swelling of the ring finger, purple skin and other symptoms.
Swelling of the ring finger may also be due to other reasons, and it is recommended that the patient go to the orthopedic department or rheumatology department of the regular hospital in time, and follow the doctor’s instructions to standardize the diagnosis and treatment.
