How does postpartum finger swell return a responsibility? First: Osteoarthritis, a degenerative inflammation of joints, can also cause finger swelling. A simple way to judge this disease is that you can't wear the original ring on your knuckles. This age-related arthritis is caused by the wear and tear of the cushioning tissue at the end of the joint. Osteoarthritis is usually accompanied by pain and stiffness. If the pain is severe, you need to see a doctor in time.
Second: lymphedema. When lymph (whose function is to take waste, bacteria and viruses out of the body) cannot be fully discharged, this disease of limb swelling will occur. Not only the fingers and toes will swell, but also the arms and legs will appear. In addition, Raynaud's disease, usually caused by arterial stenosis caused by cold weather or pressure, can also cause finger swelling. This disease is more common, and women are more likely to get sick. Fingers usually turn blue or white before swelling. This stenosis will restrict blood circulation, and when the circulation function is restored, swelling (accompanied by tingling or pain) will occur.
Third: hot and humid weather. High temperature will cause blood vessels to dilate and accelerate skin heat dissipation. With the expansion of blood vessels, some liquid in blood will leak into soft tissues, causing swelling. If the swelling can gradually disappear with the movement of your fingers, you generally don't need to care too much. But if it is accompanied by pain or weakened grip, you need to see a doctor.
Matters needing attention
1. Eat more foods containing histidine, such as rice, wheat and rye. Histidine is beneficial to remove excess metals from the body. Eat more foods rich in carotene, flavonoids, vitamins C and E and sulfur compounds. You can also eat more sulfur-containing foods, such as garlic, onions, Brussels sprouts, Chinese cabbage and so on.
2, eat more sulfur-containing foods, such as asparagus, eggs, garlic, onions. Because the repair and reconstruction of bone, cartilage and connective tissue are all made of sulfur, and sulfur also contributes to the absorption of calcium.
3. It is forbidden to take iron or iron-containing multivitamins. Because iron is associated with pain, swelling and joint injury. Alkaloids in eggplant, pepper and tobacco can aggravate arthritis symptoms.
4, life should be regular, diet should be moderate, stool can not be dry. Arthritis patients should not always cook in an iron pan. People who are used to cooking in iron pots are prone to relapse of rheumatoid arthritis, and the serum iron content decreases after the onset.
