#What is Edema?

EDEMA - is the medical term for swelling.

It's also known as fluid retention, water retention, dropsy, hydrops, swelling or puffiness. It occurs when excess fluids build up in our body tissues.

Water retention happens in the bloodstream or in tissues and cavities. It occurs when our small blood vessels leak fluid into nearby tissues. This extra fluid builds up, causing the tissue to swell. It can happen almost anywhere in the body. It can cause swelling in the hands, legs, and ankles.

As a result of injury or inflammation, body parts become swollen. It can affect a small area or the entire body. Medications, pregnancy, infections, and many other medical issues can also cause swelling.

#EDEMA - water retention in the body

The word comes from Greek "οἴδημα oídēma" and means "swelling".

Symptoms of Edema may include stretched skin, feeling of heaviness in the affected area, and joint stiffness. Other symptoms depend on the underlying cause.
