Why do eyelids jump?

Commonly known as the left eye jumping for money and the right eye jumping for disaster, the nerve movement of the left and right eyes is used to indicate bad luck. Chakra vibration refers to uncontrolled twitching of upper cells or lower eyelids, commonly known as eyelid jump or eyebrow jump. Clinically common in adults. If it happens occasionally, it can heal itself without treatment; If you jump too often or too long, you must adjust. This disease is similar to blepharospasm in western medicine.

Everyone may have eyelid jump in life, and most of them can disappear completely in a short time, but frequent eyelid jump for more than 3 months may be hemifacial spasm.

Eyelids jumped for twenty years, and it turned out that hemifacial spasm was at work!

Recently, the situation of Ms. Guo, who was treated in An Red Cross Hospital, is more serious than the above situation. She has been troubled by bilateral eyelid and mouth twitching for 20 years. According to her, twenty years ago, the eyelids began to beat involuntarily, and then involuntary convulsions appeared on the face, with an average of 20 to 30 times a day. In severe cases, she can't even eat, and her rest and work are seriously affected. Ms. Guo said that at first she thought that jumping eyelids would not affect her life, so she didn't care too much. But then the muscles twitched more and more obviously and frequently. After being treated in a local hospital for a period of time, the symptoms of facial muscle twitching have not been significantly alleviated. After that, the symptoms on the left side gradually worsened, and facial convulsions appeared on the right side, which made her very upset.

After the illness worsened, in order not to let others see her "blinking" expression, Ms. Guo dared not look at others or even look directly at her lover when communicating with others. Wear a hat and a mask when you go out. After a long time, I became more and more reluctant to go out.

Timely diagnosis and treatment, bid farewell to facial convulsions is not a dream!

After many inquiries and searching online for hospitals to treat hemifacial spasm, Ms. Guo came to Ann Red Cross Hospital. "The initial symptom of hemifacial spasm is eyelid beating, but it generally does not attract the attention of patients. Over time, it will lead to unilateral hemifacial spasm, and a few patients will have bilateral hemifacial spasm at the same time. The incidence of hemifacial spasm is about one in 100,000, and there are very few on both sides. " Director Xiao Hua of Xi 'an Red Cross Hospital introduced.

Because Ms. Guo's left face twitched obviously and her right side was lighter, other directors first gave her left microvascular decompression. After the operation, the left face stopped beating immediately. Ms. Guo is very happy and feels that she can finally live like a normal person. The director said that after Ms. Guo recovered for a period of time, she would consider the right operation.

Director Bie Xiaohua reminds all citizens that if they find that they or people around them have frequent eyelid jumps, they must go to the hospital in time to check whether facial spasm is at work. Once the diagnosis is made, microvascular decompression can be performed under the guidance of a doctor to separate the blood vessels that oppress the facial nerve from the facial nerve, fix the blood vessels with biomaterials, relieve the oppression of the blood vessels on the facial nerve, and bid farewell to facial twitch.

Microvascular decompression is the only way to radically cure facial spasm, that is, to find the responsible blood vessels that oppress facial nerve under high-power microscope, and to separate the blood vessels from the nerves with biomaterials, so as to relieve the oppression of the blood vessels on the facial nerve and naturally relieve facial twitch. Surgery is the best way to cure hemifacial spasm, with less trauma, less pain and less recurrence.
