What is the cause of the child's retinal hemorrhage?

Many families are worried when they see their children’s red eyes. This is most likely retinal hemorrhage. So what is going on with retinal hemorrhage in children? The eyes are a key part of the human body. Once there are health risks, it can easily affect vision and hinder normal life. Especially when children are developing, it is important to identify the causes so that we can strengthen prevention and prevent harm.

The eye is a very fragile organ in the body. Many people do not know much about retinal hemorrhage. They think that retinal hemorrhage is caused by excessive eye fatigue. Some people simply drop some eye drops to relieve the symptoms. In fact, there are many causes of retinal hemorrhage in daily life. Some diseases, such as diabetes, may also cause retinal hemorrhage if not treated in time.

After retinal hemorrhage occurs, the first thing to do is to rest in bed, avoid activities and mental stress, and control blood pressure, blood sugar, etc. Currently, modern medicine uses laser therapy, fibrinolytic agents, antiplatelet aggregation agents and other treatments. These therapies have certain effects in clinical applications, but are far from ideal for restoring vision.

Retinal blood vessels may present abnormalities, however there are various causes that can lead to the same pathological damage, such as retinal hemorrhage, exudation, microaneurysm, neovascularization, etc. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the causes of retinal hemorrhage are: warm air activates blood, while qi stagnation causes blood coagulation. Clinically, upper retinal hemorrhage is easily caused by qi deficiency or sluggish qi circulation, or qi stagnation and blood circulation obstruction. Blood stasis blocks the eye vessels, often causing floating clouds in front of the eyes, like flags waving in the wind, and black vision. Repeated attacks may cause eye swelling and pain, until blindness.

There is also mechanical blockage, such as blood clots, which are also easy causes of retinal hemorrhage. In addition, in life, inflammatory diseases or immune complexes may invade the blood vessel walls. Common diseases include retinal periphlebitis, optic disc vasculitis, etc. We must pay more attention to them in life. There are also systemic vascular and blood diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes and other retinopathy, which can cause retinal hemorrhage and bring disadvantages to life.

I believe everyone has a general understanding of what causes retinal hemorrhage in children. Family members need to take good care of their children's daily lives at all times, use their eyes scientifically and reasonably, and not overwork. They should also pay attention to physical care and daily life conditioning. Once you notice anything wrong, you must go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
