Why do middle-aged men have dark circles under their eyes?

Kidney deficiency is very common among men. Most men with kidney deficiency are in a poor mental state and look as if they have not woken up yet, so they have dark circles under their eyes. So what are the other reasons for dark circles?

Dark circles under the eyes are actually caused by kidney deficiency

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that black color enters the kidney, so many people think that dark circles under the eyes are related to the kidney and are a manifestation of kidney deficiency. Indeed, in clinical practice, there are patients with dark circles under the eyes due to kidney deficiency, however, not everyone with dark circles under the eyes has kidney deficiency.

Overwork, staying up late for a long time, or makeup particles entering the eyelids, as well as eyelid injury causing subcutaneous bleeding, can all lead to metabolic dysfunction of the skin around the eyes, causing pigmentation to accumulate around the eyes. Varicose veins in the eye sockets or eyelids or long-term eyelid edema can cause venous obstruction and also cause dark circles under the eyes.

Some chronic diseases may also cause dark circles. For example, patients with chronic liver disease, especially those with abnormal liver function, often have dark circles that are difficult to disappear. People with recurrent chronic gastritis, which causes decreased digestion and absorption functions, often have dark circles under their eyes. In addition, arteriosclerosis, menopausal syndrome, physical weakness after a serious illness, nephritis, renal failure, respiratory failure, aplastic anemia, thrombocytopenic purpura, hypothyroidism, Cushing's syndrome, etc. can all cause microcirculation disorders around the eyes, resulting in blood stasis and causing dark circles under the eyes.

Therefore, for the sake of men's health, the above obvious symptoms of kidney deficiency in men should be prevented as early as possible.
