Edema is the abnormal accumulation of fluid in the body tissues, causing swelling. It can occur in different parts of the body, such as the feet, legs, arms, or abdomen.
Edema can be caused by various conditions, such as heart failure, kidney disease, injuries, allergic reactions, or circulatory problems.
It may manifest as visible swelling, a feeling of heaviness, or tension in the affected area. It is important to consult a doctor if edema is persistent, painful, or accompanied by other symptoms, as it may be a sign of an underlying health problem.
