1. Irregular menstruation in women

Compared with men, women are more likely to suffer from dark circles under their eyes, which is largely related to their irregular menstruation. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, women's menstrual disorders or dysmenorrhea are often caused by abnormal circulation of qi and blood due to qi stagnation and blood stasis, or cold stagnation and blood stasis, and dark circles under the eyes are the external manifestation of abnormal circulation of qi and blood. In addition, women with excessive menstrual bleeding or functional uterine bleeding are also prone to dark circles under their eyes.

2. Liver problems

Staying up late can cause "panda eyes", but this situation will improve if the sleep quality is stable and you get enough rest. However, long-term dark circles may also be related to liver problems. According to clinical data, about 20% of people with liver disease have pigmentation in exposed areas, such as the face and around the eye sockets, which appear as "dark circles". For patients with long-term abnormal liver function, dark circles will persist for a long time.

3. Kidney deficiency

The five colors corresponding to the kidney are black. If the kidney essence is deficient, the eyes will lack the nourishment of essence and energy. The black color of the kidney will appear on the eyes, so the eyes are dull and the eye circles are dark.
