Why is the back of the neck thick?

Many people who work at a desk for a long time or sit for a long time have such a confusion, that is, although they have a hard life and work, their bodies have gained weight, especially the flesh on the back of the neck is particularly thick. In fact, the thick flesh on the back of the neck is not obesity, but a sign of sub-health. So what is the matter with the thick flesh on the back of the neck? If this happens, what issues should we pay attention to?

1 Thick flesh on the back of the neck may cause neck discomfort, which is mainly due to the patient's bad living habits. For example, if you keep your head down for a long time, or lie on the bed playing with mobile phones, these bad habits will cause thick flesh on the back of the neck. As long as you change your bad living habits, you can do local physical therapy and hot compresses, and these symptoms will gradually be relieved.

2 If the back of the neck appears thick, it may be due to cervical muscle strain, or there is a high possibility of cervical fat pad. It is best to perform hot compress therapy, or apply Tongluo pain-relieving ointment externally, or take Jingfukang granules orally, or Dahuoluo pills and some other medicines for treatment.

3 Thick flesh on the back of the neck may also be caused by abundant local fat and thyroid nodules, or it may be a lipoma. It is best to go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination. After determining the cause, you can then treat it accordingly. You should also change various bad living habits.

Note

The cervical fat pad is located on the right back of the neck, which is related to individual differences. In fact, this symptom has nothing to do with obesity. Generally, the fat will not disappear after losing weight. It is a normal physiological phenomenon and there is no need to worry too much. You should improve bad habits in your life and do appropriate neck massage and exercises.
