What causes dark circles under eyes?

If the eye circles are dark, many friends’ first impression is that they stayed up late or did not sleep well. In fact, in addition to these two reasons, there are other physical discomforts that can cause the appearance of dark circles, such as common kidney deficiency and liver damage. Dark circles under the eyes are something that everyone can recognize at once, and then you should look for the cause and then make adjustments to your body. If you don’t get enough rest, you should adjust your work and rest schedule. If there is no effect after the adjustment, you should go to a regular hospital for examination, because sometimes kidney deficiency and liver function problems cannot be discovered at first glance, and need to be tested and judged by a regular hospital.

What causes dark circles under eyes?

1. Lack of sleep. Modern urbanites prefer to stay up late, so you can often see people with dark circles under their eyes every day. Lack of sleep leads to poor blood circulation, and the skin around the eyes is relatively thin, so it will be more obvious, resulting in dark circles. This is especially true for women. Even if they are very beautiful, having dark circles under their eyes every day will reduce your appearance. Moreover, dark circles will make people look listless and tired, which is an unhealthy condition.

2. Kidney deficiency. The kidneys are where the body's vitality resides. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the kidneys are the gate to life and are very important organs in the body. The kidneys here are not the physical organs in the Western medical concept, but the broad concept of traditional Chinese medicine that includes the urinary and reproductive systems. Weak kidneys can cause dark circles under the eyes and dull eyes. Many people who indulge in excessive sexual activity suffer from kidney deficiency and dark circles under the eyes. For women, dark circles may be caused by endocrine disorders or menstrual disorders, such as excessive menstrual flow or functional bleeding.

3. Impaired liver function. Patients with long-term abnormal liver function and enlarged liver will always have dark circles under their eyes, and their entire complexion will look dark and dull.

Why do I always have dark circles under my eyes?

Dark circles under the eyes are what we often call dark circles and "panda eyes". We always think that dark circles under the eyes may be a direct manifestation of staying up late, lack of sleep, excessive eye fatigue, aging, etc. In fact, this is not the case. Some people do not stay up late or suffer from insomnia but still have dark circles under their eyes. Friends like this must be careful, because it is possible that you have "kidney deficiency" and you should nourish your kidneys.

Frequent dark circles may be caused by liver and kidney deficiency

If dark circles appear frequently, you may need to consider other causes such as gynecological diseases or liver and kidney deficiency.

Some gynecological diseases can also cause dark circles, such as dysmenorrhea or irregular menstruation, ovarian diseases, etc., which cause abnormal circulation of qi and blood. If dark circles persist for a long time, you may want to observe whether your vaginal discharge has an odor and go for a physical examination, especially a gynecological examination.

For middle-aged women, liver and kidney deficiency is an important factor leading to dark circles under the eyes. "As middle-aged women age, they are more likely to suffer from liver and kidney deficiency, which leads to a deficiency of both Qi and blood. When Qi and blood are not flowing well, dark circles will develop."
