Ways To Treat Hyperemia

Hyperemia is the increased flow of blood into tissues and organs. Just about everyone has experienced this condition when exercising, in a hot climate, or digesting a big meal. When there is a greater demand for oxygen or nutrients in one organ or kind of tissue, blood flow will naturally be diverted to that area. In most cases, this is a naturally occurring state and no cause for alarm. Once individuals stop exercising and their body cools down, they will see the blood flow return to normal.

But for some individuals, hyperemia is a symptom of a larger underlying problem. Hyperemia is a symptom of heart disease, deep vein thrombosis, and hepatic vein thrombosis.
