Massage is a relaxing way that many people love, but if you press it in the wrong place, or if you don't apply it properly, it can cause unexpected damage!
There have been many cases of "accidents" due to massage, and the media has reported many cases before.
A man in Wuhan, Hubei Province used a fascia gun to massage his eyes for two months, but he didn't expect it to lead to cataracts!
There are also Zhejiang women in a massage parlor, doing the so-called "slimming belly" massage, but I didn't expect the stomach to hurt to the point of semi-coma, and when I went to the hospital to check it, it was kidney hemorrhage!
Neck massage is pressed out of the "lump"
Recently, a hospital in Shanghai received a patient, who was actually pressed out of an apple-sized "lump" because of neck massage!
During the first month of last year, Ms. Wen felt that her neck was not very comfortable, so she asked her husband to help her with a neck massage to relax, but the next day she found that the left side of her neck was bulging, and after examination at the local hospital, it was found that it was a left internal jugular vein aneurysm.
However, over the course of a year, the lump grew larger and larger. Ms. Wen was so worried that she came to the hospital for medical treatment.
After asking for medical history and careful examination, the doctor clearly diagnosed the pseudoaneurysm of the left internal jugular vein, and Ms. Wen's vein aneurysm is huge, with a maximum diameter of 7 cm, and once ruptured, it will be life-threatening!
Intimal damage caused by external force is the most common cause of cervical vein injury, so the doctor deduced that the cause was probably directly related to Ms. Wen's neck massage a year ago.
The night before the lump was discovered, Ms. Wen's cervical spine felt uncomfortable, and she was very tired during the busy Chinese New Year, so she wanted to relieve it through massage. It may be that the husband's massage technique and strength are not well controlled, which leads to the lesion of the internal jugular vein.
In addition to the huge tumor, there are also a large number of blood clots, the length of the tumor break is about 2 cm, there is also a risk of pulmonary embolism caused by the blood clot falling off, and Ms. Wen also has iron deficiency anemia, etc., the condition is extremely complicated.
Don't press this part!
According to doctors, the neck connects the head and body, supports the skull, and is also a passage for vital organs such as breathing, circulation and digestion, so it plays a vital role in the structure of the human body.
The jugular vein where Ms. Wen suffered is a pathway for blood from the head of the human body to flow back to the heart, and its main role is to regulate the volume of the vascular system.
If the neck is hit, pulled or twisted by force, it can lead to rupture or tearing of the arteries or veins in the neck, leading to serious bleeding, shock, and complications such as cerebral infarction.
Therefore, when massaging, the neck can not be pressed at will! The doctor reminds: there are risks in massaging the neck, and the following matters need to be paid attention to!
1
When there is abnormal neck discomfort, it should not be simply thought to be caused by exertion, but should be done as soon as possible.
2
To carry out neck massage with caution, the operator must not only have skilled and accurate massage techniques, but also have a certain understanding of the risks.
3
Massage treatment leads to aggravation of the condition.
4
During the massage, the body position should be selected and the person being massaged should be in a state of complete relaxation.
5
Massage should also avoid the area of blood vessels in the neck.
6
If a neck vascular injury is suspected, go to the hospital in time.
