This part of the body turns blue easily leading to paralysis

We often see bruises on the body, a blue area with no broken skin and no severe pain. Most people think that once the blue skin disappears in a few days, everything will be fine. However, if these bruises appear frequently on the body, then we must be vigilant, because the blueing of this part of the body will cause paralysis and must be prevented.

Blue neck

Some people may experience blue skin or bulging blue veins on their neck. These phenomena do not seem to be a big deal, nor are they symptoms that affect life and work. However, this editor would like to remind everyone that the blueness of the neck area for no reason is not a trivial matter and should never be ignored. A thousand-mile long dam is destroyed by an ant hole. Often, major diseases are caused by the fact that some small signs in the early stages are not taken seriously and the corresponding correct measures are not taken in time. Therefore, the blue neck should never be ignored.

The neck also hides the body's four major arteries, which are closely connected to the brain, upper torso and feet. "A single hair can move the whole body", not only that, for our body, it can be said that "a single hair can destroy the whole body". The neck is one of the most important parts of the body, so it is very important to protect it.

What is the reason for cyanosis? Bluing is one of the manifestations of internal bleeding. This phenomenon can be caused by damage to blood vessels, expansion or contraction of local blood vessels. After a blood vessel ruptures, the blood will begin to form thrombin and begin to coagulate. The enzymatic reaction forms a fibrin thrombus, which fills the site of blood vessel damage and stops the bleeding.

When blood stops flowing out, it means that the blood vessels begin to be blocked. The neck is close to the brain. Once the blood vessels in the neck begin to be blocked, it will directly affect the blood supply to the brain and may even cause cerebral thrombosis.

Especially when blue bruises appear in the neck area without any external force, it means that the blood vessels are very fragile. If you do not take it seriously, it will cause rupture of intracranial blood vessels, leading to brain hemorrhage or cerebral thrombosis, causing paralysis of the body.

Causes of blue neck

A blue neck means blood vessel blockage. So what are the causes of blood vessel blockage? Let's take a look!

1. The blood vessel wall is too thin

Thinning of blood vessel walls may be a complication of diseases such as hypertension and arteriosclerosis. High blood pressure or slow blood flow can cause blood vessel walls to become increasingly fragile. Over time, the blood vessels will not be able to withstand the pressure brought by the blood, and they will rupture, forming bruises on the skin surface.

2. The blood vessel wall is too thick

Slower blood flow is one of the reasons why blood vessel walls become thicker. In addition, excessive fat intake can also cause thickening of blood vessel walls. The most common point is diabetes. Excessive sugar levels in the blood can also cause blood flow to slow down, which in turn causes the blood vessel walls to thicken. The thickening of blood vessel walls is not a good thing. Instead, it may cause blood vessels to rupture and blood congestion to form in the body.

3. Low platelets in the blood

Bruising can also occur if the platelet count in the blood is too low. The main function of platelets is to coagulate the blood, which means stopping bleeding quickly. If the platelet count in the blood is too low, the blood will not coagulate easily, which means artificial bleeding is required. However, internal bleeding cannot be detected externally in time, and the blood will flow into the muscle tissue, causing bruises.

The above three situations are all causes of bruises. Once you find abnormal bruises somewhere on your body, you should pay more attention to your physical health. First, we need to rule out the possibility of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and secondly, we need to seek professional advice from doctors to improve our lifestyle habits.

What to do if part of the body turns blue

1. Do not knead or press

Many people will massage the skin with their hands when they see bruises on the skin surface. In fact, this is a wrong practice, especially when the bruises have just appeared. The reason for bruises is the rupture of blood vessels. If you press with your fingers at this time, it will increase the amount of bleeding and is not conducive to the dissipation of blood stasis. Therefore, after a bruise appears, you should not press or rub the bruised area with your fingers, otherwise it will only get worse.

2. Hot compress

Applying a hot towel can help promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. This editor recommends that you apply a hot towel for 15 minutes before going to bed. It can not only help you sleep, but also promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis and eliminate toxins. If time permits, this editor also recommends that you take a hot bath frequently to speed up the blood circulation throughout the body, which will have a better effect in promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. But don't take a hot bath for too long, 15 minutes is enough, otherwise you will feel dizzy.

3. Appropriate activities

Appropriate exercise can also promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, reduce the incidence of cerebral thrombosis, and protect the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems. In recent years, the incidence of diabetes and cerebral thrombosis has been getting higher and higher, especially among the elderly, who may suffer from cerebral thrombosis if the disease occurs. Therefore, moderate exercise is necessary, which can reduce blood stasis in the body and eliminate the accumulated blood.
