What is a lacrimal sac blockage?

Dacryocyst blockage usually refers to a disease in which the lacrimal sac of the patient is blocked and tears cannot be excreted normally.

Dacryocyst blockage is common in middle-aged and elderly women, and the common site of the disease is the connection between the lacrimal sac and the nasolacrimal duct. Dacryocyst blockage may be related to trauma, inflammation, foreign body blockage, eye tumor, nasolacrimal duct obstruction, etc. When the patient is sick, the patient is prone to symptoms such as unilateral or bilateral epiphora, dacryocyst dilatation, and dacryocyst swelling. If the patient does not treat the dacryocyst blockage in time, there will be complications such as chronic dacryocystitis and dacryocyst mucocele.
