These diseases are the culprits of dark circles. Dark circles can usually be divided into two colors.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the rise and fall of a person's qi and blood or changes in their organs will be reflected in their face, and kidney deficiency can lead to dark circles. If the dark circles under the eyes are severe and accompanied by dull eyes, tired face, back pain, cold hands, coupled with excessive sexual intercourse and an unhealthy lifestyle, these can all be causes of kidney deficiency.

These diseases are the culprits for dark circles under the eyes

Periorbital pigmentation is also known as "dark skin around the eye sockets", commonly known as "dark circles". Dark circles are formed because the red blood cells in the eye skin are not supplied with enough oxygen, and there is excessive accumulation of carbon dioxide and metabolic waste in the veins, resulting in chronic hypoxia, darker blood, and stagnation, as well as eye pigmentation.

Dark circles can generally be divided into two colors:

One is blue-black dark circles, which are caused by venous blood retention in the microvessels. From the outside, the skin appears dark blue. It is common in infants, young children and adolescents, and is especially difficult to avoid in people with irregular lifestyles. One is brown dark circles, which are caused by incomplete melanin production and metabolism. The cause of dark circles under the eyes is related to aging. Long-term sun exposure will cause pigmentation to accumulate around the eyes, which is difficult to remove. Of course, some dark circles are the response to certain diseases, which will be mentioned in detail later.

These diseases are the culprits for dark circles under the eyes

1. Allergic rhinitis

People with obvious dark circles and bags under their eyes due to allergic rhinitis are often seen in clinical practice. People with allergic rhinitis suffer from delayed reaction to allergens in the skin and subcutaneous tissue around the nose and eyes, which leads to eyelid edema and venous reflux disorder, manifested by dull color around the eye sockets, especially the lower eyelids, and bags under the eyes.

2. Kidney deficiency

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the rise and fall of a person's qi and blood or changes in their organs will be reflected in their face, and kidney deficiency can lead to dark circles. If the dark circles under the eyes are severe and accompanied by dull eyes, tired face, back pain, cold hands, coupled with excessive sexual intercourse and an unhealthy lifestyle, these can all be causes of kidney deficiency.

3. Chronic diseases

Chronic diseases such as chronic hepatitis, poor digestive function, chronic gastritis, etc. can cause blood microcirculation disorders, leading to blood stasis around the eyes and dark circles.

4. Gynecological diseases

Women are based on blood. Insufficient qi and blood can lead to irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea, etc., and cause blood stasis to flow poorly and remain in the face, causing dark circles under the eyes. If the dark circles are caused by long-term deficiency of Qi and blood, you should also be alert to gynecological diseases such as functional uterine bleeding and ovarian disease.
