Working on your feet and an unhealthy lifestyle will cause swelling. Swollen and heavy legs, especially around the ankle and lower leg, in the evening it is not only often, but every day? The problem should not be ignored, as it is always a sign of the accumulation of excess interstitial fluid and its poor redistribution. The volume of fluid in the body must be constant: how much water enters a person, the same volume must leave him. Otherwise, the swelling visually changes the body for the worse and creates great discomfort. Podiatrist Yulia Mironikhina, a specialist in the TsIDK network of clinics, told how to identify the problem and what it can signal.
“The reason can be both a heavy load, a long walk and tight shoes. If you analyze the problem from the inside, heart disease, kidney disease, salty food, vein disease, long flights , alcohol and even hot weather can affect swollen legs. Edema is not always noticeable, first of all, it should alert: the trace of a rubber band from a sock on the skin, so that you can check the level of swelling, and you should also be careful if the shoes suddenly become tight.Swollen legs can be painful both in the evening and in the morning, and this can happen, by the way, in a healthy person. health, ”says the specialist of the network of clinics TsIDK, ambassador of the platform for booking aesthetic medicine clinics FILLLIN.RU.
Edema becomes a frequent guest in pregnant women and in women in the menstrual cycle. If, in case of obvious changes in the female body, everything is controllable, then you need to worry more when orthological edema: With varicose veins, the legs gradually swell, there is pain and a feeling of “twisting” of the limbs, in the morning the swelling disappears. Swelling and pain in only one leg may indicate phlebitis or thrombosis. Kidney pathologies are signaled in the morning, then the feet and face usually swell, puffiness appears under the eyes. Liver diseases such as cirrhosis, liver cancer. Heart disease – blood congestion occurs in areas of the body, even quite distant from the heart. This edema is symmetrical on both legs and appears at the end of the afternoon. Arthritis causes localized swelling. Thyroid dysfunction. With hypothyroidism, swelling in any part of the body, on the feet too. With hyperthyroidism, the surface of the leg thickens, the skin becomes stiff and flaky. Allergies, joint or local swelling.
It is ineffective to locally treat edema if it is not associated with a traumatic condition of this part of the body. Usually, the treatment of edema is approached in a complex way. A life history is collected, laboratory tests are ordered, and a decision is made on treatment. Massages are very useful and disperse the lymph, but are not a solution without medical examination and subsequent decision.
