Chinese medicine: signs of gum disease may be

Some long time signs of gum disease is often the performance is suffering from eye diseases. From the "gum" in nature, the body can be roughly determined by the type of disease.

Who is also president of gum health

Healthy people in the morning wash your face, sometimes found in the corner office with a small amount of discharge exists, which is less movement at night when sleeping eyelids, tear secretion, excretion retardation. Eye secretions of healthy people mainly from the lacrimal gland, meibomian glands, ocular surface cells, mucus secretion and loss of ocular surface epithelial cells, mostly transparent or pale white, usually difficult to detect. Because a small amount of secretions, and timely discharge from the lacrimal, does not cause eye discomfort.

Gum healthy people rarely even see. But some people woke up after the eyes are often full of mucus, especially in some of the elderly. Gum for a long time, even the eyelids stick, so that the eyelid is not easy to open, and sometimes during the day have gum. This is how it happened?

Our eyelids have a long gland called the meibomian gland, which secrete oil to moisturize the eyelid, tear spills and prevent erosion of the skin. We sleep at night, these oils can be more tightly closed eyelids to prevent tear evaporation, not to cause corneal drying. When these oils and dust into the eyes during the day, and the residue after evaporation of tears mixed together to form a so-called "gum."

Eye disease, secretions change

When the occurrence of certain eye diseases, eye discharge occurs or the number of trait change, people typically observed secretion increased significantly at the same time, will feel a discomfort, such as difficulties in the early morning eyes, blurred vision and so on.

When suffering from eye diseases, eye discharge components in addition to the above content, shedding will contain more cells, inflammatory cells, vascular exudation, pathogens.

Too many have inflammation of the gum

Experts said that a sudden increase from the gum and other subtle changes, often we can see signs of the disease. Some gum is generated when the eye by infection and inflammation. On the one hand, the bacteria stimulate the sebaceous glands, promote oil secretion, so that the eyelids and eyes increase in oil than usual; the other hand, the eyes of the blood vessels to dilate, and blood leukocyte aggregation in order to kill foreign bacteria, The debris and bacteria were killed in combat "glorious sacrifice" of the white blood cells are mingled in the gum.

As a result, gum not only increased, and some were yellow-white. Therefore, when suffering from trachoma, conjunctivitis, or other causes inflammation of the eye conjunctiva, the gum will increase. Decreased immunity in the elderly, prone to some eye inflammation. It can be said, too much gum is a sign of eye irritation, should be timely examination and treatment.
