Edema

Edema is the medical name for swelling that results from fluid getting stuck in your body's tissues. Your face, hands, abdomen, and legs can all have edema, but your feet, ankles, and legs are the most usually affected areas. Because there are so many causes that can produce edema, it is common. Because minor episodes of edema go away on their own, the exact frequency of recurrence is unknown.

Some body parts will increase (swell) as a result of edema, which might make it challenging for you to do your daily duties. Elevating the swollen portion of your body or moving around will help reduce swelling and make you feel better if you were sitting or standing for a long time. If you experience edema symptoms, consult a medical expert immediately. Edema can occasionally be a sign of an underlying medical problem.
