Causes of swollen hands when wearing rings
There are many reasons why your hand swells when you wear a ring. Below are some common causes that you need to pay attention to in order to prevent them:
- Changes in finger size: Fingers can get bigger or the body gains weight, this is a common reason why many people feel their rings are tight. Pregnant and postpartum women often fall into this situation because they do not have much time to exercise.
- Calloused Fingers: When your fingers become calloused, it becomes more difficult to remove rings. The skin on your hands is no longer as soft and elastic as before.
- Change in size due to weather: On hot days, fingers can swell, causing rings to no longer fit properly.
- Deformed ring: If the ring is subjected to external force, it may become dented and lose its original size and shape, making it more difficult to remove.
Wearing a ring on a swollen hand can cause discomfort, finger marks, inflammation, and allergies. Therefore, removing the ring is necessary to create comfort for you in daily activities and to avoid affecting your health.
Consequences of wearing a ring on your hand for too long
If you wear a ring and your hand or finger swells , it will be swollen and red due to the metal ring being tight and squeezing the skin, and there may even be signs of necrosis.
According to the doctor of Viet Duc Hospital Clinic: “When wearing a ring, you need to wear one that fits your finger, not too tight, and has no sharp edges… In the case that the ring is too small for your finger, it will be like a tourniquet hugging your finger tightly. Blood from the artery with higher pressure can pass through the ring, but venous blood on the outside of the finger with lower pressure cannot pass through the ring to return, causing the outside of the finger to become increasingly swollen and inflamed. If not freed from this golden ring, the finger is very likely to become necrotic and must be amputated.”
