How is oedema to return a responsibility

summary

Many people often hear a term in hospitals or TV programs, that is: edema, but most ordinary people don't know exactly what edema is and why they suffer from this disease. Now I'm going to popularize the science of how to deal with edema.

How is oedema to return a responsibility

First, excessive fluid accumulation in the interstitial tissue or body cavity is called edema. There is only a small amount of fluid in the normal body cavity. If body fluid accumulates in the body cavity, it is called hydrops, such as ascites, hydrothorax, pericardium, ventricle, scrotum, etc.

Second, edema fluid is usually interstitial fluid. According to the amount of protein in edema fluid, edema fluid can be divided into exudate with relative density > 1.018 and transudat with relative density < 1.015.

Third: Traditional Chinese medicine believes that lung, spleen and kidney are the most closely related organs to water metabolism. The dysfunction of these three organs is the key to cause edema. Therefore, in the treatment of edema, traditional Chinese medicine generally takes the basic principles of dispersing lung, strengthening spleen and warming kidney.

matters needing attention

Edema refers to the accumulation of too much body fluid in a certain tissue or body cavity. People with edema should avoid standing or standing for a long time, and pay more attention to diet, so as to excrete excess body fluid.
