"Doctor, what's the matter with my fingers whenever it's cold?" Such inquiries are also often heard in outpatient clinics.

The swelling of the fingers after the weather gets colder is not actually a typical manifestation of a disease, as long as there is an inflammatory response in the joints involved.

With the change of temperature, there may be a recurrence of swelling, with the change of temperature, the blood circulation of the extremities will change, the capillary circulation of the terminals will also change, and the chronic accumulation of inflammation around the joints will cause swelling.

When the weather is hot, the blood flow speed is accelerated, the microcirculation is good, and the accumulation of inflammatory factors will be quickly removed, but when the temperature is low and the weather is bad, the accumulation of inflammatory factors is not so easy to be taken away, and the more local abscesses accumulate, it is easy to form a swelling recurrence phenomenon.

So, that's why the fingers swell after the weather changes. #红红火火过大年 #
