Edema is swelling caused by excess fluid accumulation in tissues. It can result from injury, chronic health issues, or medication side effects. Treatments include lifestyle changes, medications, compression therapy, and addressing underlying causes, all available through Klarity's licensed providers.
Edema manifests as swelling due to fluid buildup in body tissues. It commonly affects the legs, ankles, or feet, but can occur elsewhere. Understanding its causes helps determine effective treatment strategies. Klarity offers expert virtual care to help manage edema effectively.
Factors increasing edema risk include obesity, pregnancy, sedentary lifestyle, and certain medications. Age and underlying health conditions also play a role. Early assessment by healthcare providers can prevent complications.
Edema appears as persistent swelling, tight skin, and sometimes pain or heaviness. If swelling develops suddenly, worsens, or is accompanied by shortness of breath, chest pain, or rapid weight gain, contact a healthcare professional immediately.
Depending on the cause, providers may prescribe diuretics, adjust medications, or recommend therapy to improve lymphatic flow. Addressing underlying health issues like heart or kidney conditions is essential.
