Edema, also spelt oedema, and also known as fluid retention, dropsy, hydropsy and swelling, is the build-up of fluid in the body's tissue.[1] Most commonly, the legs or arms are affected.[1] Symptoms may include skin which feels tight, the area may feel heavy, and affected joints may be hard to move.[1] Other symptoms depend on the underlying cause.[2]
Causes may include venous insufficiency, heart failure, kidney problems, low protein levels, liver problems, deep vein thrombosis, infections, angioedema, certain medications, and lymphedema.[1][2] It may also occur after prolonged sitting or standing and during menstruation or pregnancy.[1] The condition is more concerning if it starts suddenly, or pain or shortness of breath is present.[2]
Treatment depends on the underlying cause.[2] If the underlying mechanism involves sodium retention, decreased salt intake and a diuretic may be used.[2] Elevating the legs and support stockings may be useful for edema of the legs.[3] Older people are more commonly affected.[3] The word is from the Greek οἴδημα oídēma meaning 'swelling'.[4]

Our modern lifestyles are unnatural and making us sick. Major changes in lifestyle and eating habits are required.
Health is the greatest blessing of GOD. Sick people comments are heart breaking !!!!!
they say it was incurable and that it could only be managed. He would try his best. And I am grateful so much for trying your best sir.
Very helpful! Thanks for making and sharing this video!
Glad it was helpful!
Bless morning
Tonks for the info.
Glad it was helpful.
very well detailed, short and simple straight to the point. Helped me get a good grade Thank you !!!!!!
I have had edema ever since I developed a nasty infection in my right upper thigh in 2015. Doctors had to remove a huge chunk of my thigh and remove some lymph nodes to save my leg but it has caused my left lower leg to swell off and on ever since. Moving around and wearing compression socks helps bring the swelling down.
Hi thank you for the information. I had the same problem and two years after still have pretty significant swollen legs. Any idea?
Thank u for sharing. Am praying for everyone on this page in JESUS Name.
Thanks bud cuz everytime I get sick my leg is swelling up and everything only just one leg and other leg swelling went down a lot since I lost like over 100 pounds but it's still have a little ankle swell but you know I'm that's day today but every time I get sick my legs swell
Does the swelling cause pain?
Thanks a lot that was master piece 🙌
You're welcome
Thank you I just started to get edema
Me too
Tq sir
Great informative video thanks.
You are welcome
Thank you veru much
Thank you. Four years under a hospital eye specialist failed to explain my swollen eyelids which blister similar to bubble wrapping. With the insight I have gained from your excellent video I intend to approach my doctor to ask whether I have macular diabetic retinothapy. I will discontinue my use of HRT but will have to stay on Prednisolone (steroids at 12 mgs) until I can gradually wean myself off them. My ankles, feet and lower legs are puffy and swollen and make me less inclined to walk - but walk I must. Thanks again for the hope of an improvement to my life.
Being sedentary encourages more fluid build up so walking does help. Movement stimulates tissues & promotes circulation. It reduces swelling to relieve pressure & pain. Also raise your feet above your heart while sleeping so gravity can have a reverse effect & drain fluid from the limbs. Anther tip he didn't mention is to soak 10 -15 minutes in a warm bath with 1 or 2 cups of Epsom Salt. Your body can absorb magnesium through the skin so a bath is best but if that's too difficult, soak your feet in a basin. For best results soak before bed & lightly massage feet & ankles or walk a few minutes. Hope this helps you!
Why don't they put you on Lasix instead of a steroid? Hmmmm...
what did you do to treat it
Thanks
Welcome
Good and well explained
Keep watching
Could Edema of the legs occur from prolonged squatting?
I had feet, leg and hands edema it even reached my stomach and my penis skin, also I couldn’t breathe when trying to sleep. Finally ended up in the emergency room and diagnosed with heart failure and liver cirrhosis. Now I’m taking all sorts of medications along with dieretics.
Sorry about your condition, I wish you good luck with your treatment and hope you get better soon.
Sorry about your health issues, may God's heal you in jesus name
I hope u feel better now
Sorry to hear of your condition. The strain on your heart must have been terrible. Some doctors should be barred from treating their patients if they could not help you before it got this bad.
I had that in marine corps boot camp. When I first went in my leg swelled up, and because I was running on that it caused me to break my tibia and stay in bed rest for 3 months and another 3 in physical therapy. The doctors kept telling me it was vasculitis, but I only came to find out it was edema when I pushed through it all and for the grace of god my leg didn’t swell up anymore.😅
Some medications that cause edema: ACEI,Bblockers, insulins,antihistamin, antidepressant,any thing cause hypertension, increase electrolytes, and............
Good infos, thanks for sharing. ❤❤❤👍👍👍👍❤❤❤
@@blessookezie8705 thank you. I am a healthy person, i have no Edema . Just i am very interested to know more from all the medical medias. Learning what i do not know. Tq, very kind of you to gave me that advise. I appreciate that.❤👍
Nice
At Emory it was so Egregious I saw Mom's skin splitting, I became horrified and sacred for her safety and life. Mom's gained 20lbs in the first couple of days of hospitalized. 190 to 230lbs. It took to end of stay before Pulmonoligist prescribed Lassic, and that was ADVOCATED for by NEW and Good ICU Nurse ( African American) and myself.
This whatever caused my brain to swell in confusion.
Makes zero sense whatsoever.
I cured my mom with beet ginger apple celery carrot juice fasting and colon hydrotherapy.
Happy Birthday opnm🎉❤😊😮😅😢🎉😂😂❤😮😅😊
Thanks for this. What does it mean if only one ankle swells after eating salty food?
This happens to me too. My right ankle sometimes has slight swelling but other times it doesn’t swell and the left one gets way worse to where I can dent it in with my fingertip and it just stays like that. 😳
My moms
Both legs get so swolen
One ankle or leg swelling
You have to perform doppler ultrasound to rule out DVT
Thanks for the info. I slept oddly last morning I woke up then stayed sitting on the edge of the bed then fell back asleep lying down with my feet off the bed still like I’m sitting down. Woke up two hours later with my feet feeling tight and heavy. I looked down they looked puffy. Couldn’t even fit my shoes on. Been about an hour or so drank a few water bottles I feel like some of it has gone away rather quick
Glad it helped!

I’ve been having issues with swollen legs but I’ve have issues right now with high blood pressure 150/100
I'm sorry to hear about your experience, I want to encourage you to reach out to your healthcare provider for proper guidance and support.
@@MedicalCentric I just did he’s putting me on different meds
I clearly have it in the legs. Especially one leg. It’s hugely swollen for a year. Yet scans in the hospital says I haven’t got lymphoedema. What it is they don’t even know.
Yikes- One leg being worse than the other is a major warning sign for something serious- like Deep vein thrombosis or peripheral artery disease. You need to see a specialist asap.
Look into May Thurner Syndrome
Omg i was sitting on the toilet with my pants around my ankles. I noticed my legs looked a little tight. I poked and they pitted! I freaked out! Do I have edema!? Do I have heart disease!!? Omg my diet and lack of exercise has finally caught up! I did get a second degree sun burn from the beach last week, on my legs. I also did a little jog for the first time in months, tonight.
I sit a LOT at work for long periods. Then i sit in traffic before and after work. Then i sit at home.
I pray to god i don’t have serious health condition. I’m not short of breath unless I exercise. I don’t have to prop myself up during sleep.
Ugh i just hope it’s the sunburn, combined with todays jog. And i definitely will be tasking walk breaks at work from now on. This FREAKED ME OUT.
I was healthy and really active and now I can hardly walk!!!
It all happened about a year ago but it came on suddenly they can't figure out why my blood pressure is always going crazy and they have checked everything!!!
Eat healthy and go for walks because you have nothing without your health!!!!
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💯
@@kirkkirkland7244 awe I hope you get that healed SOON!!! You’re absolutely right and thank you for sharing 🫂
@@kirkkirkland7244 any updates on health?? I’m wondering if you’re ok, friend?!
My mom is 60 and has swelling in both feet for over 10 years. It happens only in very cold weather. The swelling isnt huge but its enough to put the finger and leave a small punch of hole for few seconds. She has checked her heart, blood ect and everything seems to be fine. It only happens in freezing weather. Have u found out what do u have ?
I am bothered..My mom is suffering from edema along with blisters (since childhood she have had skin disease on the front part of her ankle).. its very severe ...shes on medication but still not recovering...
Kindly pray for my mother
I'm really sorry to hear that your mom is going through such a difficult time with her health It's understandable that you are bothered by her suffering, Wishing your mom a steady recovery and sending positive thoughts your way during this challenging time.
Mom was debility and could no longer get out of bed nor walk. She relied on me 100%
Blessings to you for giving your mom your all and all!❤
God loves you beautiful angel
İt's very hard to sit on my legs
I get edema in my face (jaw and cheeks) after cardio. My face use to get thinner after cardio, but now it swells up with water retention! What do I do?
Please visit a doctor
@@MedicalCentric will do, I’m seeing a cardiologist next week. Any thoughts on what the problem may be?
@@justlol7281 I am currently experiencing the same thing. I used to be able to fast and my face get slimmer but now if I don't eat for hours my face swells up as well as my body. Anytime I do cardio, shortly after my face swells immensely. Last year they found me to by hypothyroid. My levels are now normal and one of the symtpoms of thyroid issue is swelling. However, I still am experiencing random moments where my face just swells. Even my lips, nose, legs, etc. Happens at any time. I know for sure it's not allergy or diet/lactose related because I've visited that route. Do you have an update on how you're feeling yet? Or have you been seen?
@@zoeprejean4616 I think it may have to do with an iodine deficiency! I started eating a lot of iodine and my face depuffed a lot. But I ate too much I think and it stopped working lmaoo. But I would get your iodine levels checked. You mostly find iodine in certain types of salt. So try buying table salt with iodine and salting your foods, you might see some change. Iodine deficiency can exacerbate hypothyroidism.
So I may have Adima

Potassium is needed. Diuretics treats the problem but not the cause.

Water Ex Tablets of planet ayurveda are specially made to get relief from the problem of water retention.
5:03 Reduce salt intake?! No! More like, reduce *sugar* and *carbs* intake!
Yeah. I imagine this would help a lot as well, seeing as Carbs are the reason for Fluid build up in the first place. I just did a 12 Day Water Fast and had almost 1 tsp of salt a day and didn’t experience anything. Now that I’m off since about 5 days ago, I’m getting Edema in my legs, the Main change of course was Carbs but admittedly I also have been overdoing my sodium intake as well, but again I feel like it’s mainly the Carbs here because there was also this one day where I took like 3 tsp of salt by accident during my water fast and my body reacted almost immediately and appropriately by making me rush to the bathroom to expel all the salt out (stop if you don’t want to get grossed out) via diarrhea and never got any Edema. Smh, not to say Salt isn’t bad cause it definitely can be for Edema and for our Veins but yeah.
@@TheMillionDollarDropout Regular white table salt is BAD for anyone. That's highly processed and filled with toxins. But the Pink Himalayan salt is actually good in moderation. It contains minerals that the refined white table salt lacks.
The edema is caused by too many carbs.
Reducing salt intake is important bc where salt goes water follows so if you’re already retaining fluid it will make you retain more.
I definitely agree to avoid sugar and carbs as well though! Especially if diabetic or pre diabetic, that stuff is poison
It’s mostly our diet
i think my leg is swelling on the left side. one part of my leg feels bigger than the other. i went to the doctor and they looked at my leg and said i'm fine but i am still worried.
That's what my doctor said 6 months ago, my right leg was swollen mostly my ankle, now it's worse, both legs my feet, it feels like there's a lot of water in them.
Well I go in September hopefully sooner, I hope everything goes well 🙏
@@teriandjacobsworld i hope your swelling goes down soon :)
@@zannaxz thank you!! Actually I'm wearing a compression stockings and they're helping.
I definitely invest in them, at Walmart.
I had to stop eating salty and sugary foods, which means i cook everything at home from scratch, and i walk for 1 hour every day. Helps me to keep my edema in check.

What about lymphedema
Lymphedema is a condition characterized by the swelling of body parts, typically the arms or legs, due to the accumulation of lymph fluid. It occurs when the lymphatic system, which is responsible for draining excess fluid from the body, is impaired. This can happen due to surgery, radiation therapy, infection, or other factors that affect the lymph nodes or vessels.
Managing lymphedema involves various approaches, such as compression therapy, manual lymphatic drainage, exercise, and skin care. Compression garments help control swelling, and exercises may promote lymphatic flow. However, it's crucial for individuals with lymphedema to work with healthcare professionals to develop a tailored treatment plan based on their specific condition and needs.
Standing definitely makes it worse.
I started taking these estrogen blockers and a few weeks later it started to happen 😂 😅 😢

Many years ago at work I often walked behind a woman with fat ankles on the way to the canteen. I know people can’t help it but I really didn’t like the look of them!
Edema from hypothyroidism
Edema from hypothyroidism is often due to the accumulation of mucopolysaccharides in the skin, leading to swelling and puffiness. ❤️
I have severe edema in my legs, currently. My ankles look like Hilary Rodham Clinton. Sheesh 🙄
🤣🤣🤣 That's hilarious! So do mine
Just developed the symptoms today after an accident. Swelling started at my ankles and now reaching my feet.
have you found a solution?
Just got mine around 8 PM. I’m very overweight about 80 pounds and Lead a sedentary lifestyle but I’m only 23 years old. I noticed it yesterday after having a salt heavy meal from McDonalds cause my calves felt “tight” and when I looked down, I saw my slightly swollen up feet and freaked the hell out cause while I was fasting just days prior, I was able to see the bone in my feet quite easily. I almost ran to the doctor immediately but I’m gonna wait for 3 Days to see if it improves because I just have a feeling it will. One thing thats important to note is I just came off of a 12 DAY FAST where I only drank water so maybe my body wasn’t ready for all this Sodium or something idk. Couple that with being overweight, having twice or maybe even three times the amount of daily recommended sodium that day, tons of carbs, AND not to mention the fact that I was standing for around 12 hours yesterday with little movement and Im fairly sure that’s the reason for this slight edema I’ve been experiencing for the first time ever. If it doesn’t go away in 2 - 4 days though, I’ll be visiting a doctor just to make sure I’m not going to freaking die but so far I feel perfectly fine, legs are only a bit tight and I have a light amount of pitting edema but slowly feeling better. Feel like I just had the perfect storm for this but then again if it gets worse or it goes away and comes back, it’s time to get it checked. I’ll keep this comment updated if y’all want, just reply to it, thanks.
Just going to monitor my situation and make sure I have no accompanying pains, loss of breath, or worsened swelling. Staying off the salt for the next 3 Days as well and drinking plenty of water. Hope I never have to experience this again. It’s freaky and feels alarming. I saw a Reddit comment from someone who said when they were “Stationed on a nuclear carrier” they got Edema but it never happened again. They also said it was strange. Another comment from someone said their entire family gets this when it begins to get bit outside but no Doctor can explain why.
