☘ What is joint drainage? Naturally, the moving joints of the body have fluid called synovium for smooth movement The amount of this liquid in the joints is under the control of various factors If, for any reason, the accumulation of this fluid is more than usual and it causes swelling in the joint, the term joint fluid is used. 🌷 The most common cause of watery joints is stimulation and excessive pressure on the joint This extra pressure can occur after a new activity or an intense exercise 🌷 It is possible for a person to have a repetitive activity that causes the joint to become irritated over time and cause swelling, such as a basketball athlete.

🌷 Acute cases of effusion may occur after an injury to the joint, also some inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, gout, etc. may cause effusion, and people with arthritis also suffer from effusion of the joint. 🌷 It is important to pay attention to this issue that in the case of frequent swelling of a joint, it is definitely necessary to check and take samples. 🌷 The treatment is to drain the joint, rest the joint, cold compress with a time interval of two to three hours Before any treatment, the underlying cause should be identified and treated In cases where the accumulation of fluid is too much and the increase of pressure inside the joint causes destruction of cartilage surfaces, it is necessary to drain this fluid.

🌷 Contrary to popular belief, this fluid discharge does not cause water to become a habit and the only risk that fluid discharge may have is joint infection. Therefore, joint fluid should be drained in sterile conditions by a specialist 🌷 In order to drain the liquid, resting the joint, cold compress and simple pain relievers are recommended
