Why do men have purple lips?

If a man has purple and black lips, it may be due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or heart disease. In addition, it is necessary to determine whether it is caused by excessive obesity. He needs to go to the hospital for a cardiac ultrasound examination, as well as a lung examination and a routine blood test. The comprehensive judgment result is more accurate.

1. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: Most men have a history of smoking. Long-term smoking will cause toxins to enter the body and will also have a certain impact on lung function. Chronic lung disease may occur. If not treated in time, symptoms of difficulty breathing may occur, accompanied by coughing, resulting in temporary hypoxia and purple lips.

2. Heart disease: There are many types of heart disease. Some are congenital, while others are acquired. They may affect the blood supply to the heart, including myocardial ischemia and heart failure, which will cause symptoms of cyanosis of the lips and accelerated heartbeat.

3. Obesity: Overeating or eating too much fatty and greasy food can easily lead to obesity, which is caused by a large amount of fat accumulation. The internal organs may also have symptoms of fat accumulation. It may cause sleep apnea when sleeping at night, affecting normal breathing and causing symptoms of hypoxia. If this continues for a long time, the lips will turn black and purple.
