The weather is cold and the lips are purple. Be careful because it is caused by disease.
As the weather gets colder, some people’s lips will turn purple. Don't take it as a trivial matter at this time, but beware of purple lips caused by disease.
Let’s take a look at the possible causes of purple lips.
Normal lips are red in color and suitable for dryness and humidity. If there is a physical problem, the color of your lips may change.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that long-term purple lips may be caused by certain heart problems or blood stasis and qi stagnation in the body. Purple lips will not appear under normal blood flow.
Modern medicine refers to the long-term presence of purple lips as "cyanosis", which causes discomfort such as: chest tightness, tendency to sigh, tingling in the chest, nightmares, etc.
If you seldom exercise, you can change the color of your lips by jogging regularly. Drinking an appropriate amount of mature vinegar every day can change the purple lips.
If you have the habit of smoking, it is best to reduce the amount of smoking to reduce damage to the body. You can also supplement the vitamins your body needs through food. Eating more fruits and vegetables can help improve the condition of purple lips.
If your lips become thicker, it may be caused by insufficient secretion of thyroid hormone. Dry lips may occur due to insufficient water intake during dry weather and frequent breathing through the mouth, which may cause symptoms of dry lips. In addition, the lack of grains and vegetables in the daily diet may cause dry lips due to lack of vitamin C. Having a drinking habit and often drinking too much may also lead to dry lips. People with chronic pneumonia and stomach problems often experience dry lips.
If you have lip ulcers and pain and ulcers at the corners of your mouth, you may have angular stomatitis. At this time, you should reduce alcohol consumption, eat light meals, and eat less snacks and sweets. If you have blisters on your lips, it may be caused by chronic stomach problems or pneumonia. Grains on the edges of the lips may be caused by excessive sugar intake. Usually, lip changes occur, mostly due to stomach problems and pneumonia.
1. Pale lips
Long-term pale lips may be anemia in the body, so you should go to the hospital for examination in time. In addition, if the spleen and stomach are deficient and indigestion, it can also lead to a lack of ruddy lips, dry mouth, and sometimes cold limbs.
2. Red lips
Under normal circumstances, the color of lips is pink. If the lip color is too bright or red and purple, it may be caused by "fire" in the body. If it is accompanied by bad breath, it may be caused by dampness and heat in the spleen and stomach; if it is accompanied by swelling and pain in the ribs, it may be due to excessive liver fire.
3. Dark lips
Dark lips are mostly caused by digestive system diseases, such as constipation, diarrhea, loss of appetite, etc. If dark patches appear on the lips along with hyperpigmentation, they are usually caused by chronic adrenal insufficiency.
4. Yellow lips
Yellow lips are rare. If the lips are yellow and the skin in other parts of the body is also yellow, it is suspected to be the liver. If a problem occurs, you should go to the hospital for examination in time to confirm whether hepatitis is present in your body.
If the color of your lips changes, it may be that your body is reminding you to pay attention to your health. If you are accompanied by physical discomfort, you should go to the hospital for examination in time to avoid delaying your condition.
