lábduzzanat

Lábduzzanat, also known as foot swelling or edema, is a common condition characterized by an accumulation of fluid in the tissues of the feet and ankles. This swelling can occur in one or both feet and may range from mild discomfort to significant enlargement.

Several factors can contribute to lábduzzanat. Prolonged standing or sitting, especially in warm weather, can cause blood to pool in the lower extremities, leading to fluid leakage into the surrounding tissues. Pregnancy is another common cause, as hormonal changes and increased pressure on the circulatory system can impede fluid return. Certain medical conditions are also associated with foot swelling, including heart failure, kidney disease, and liver disease. These conditions can affect the body's ability to regulate fluid balance. Additionally, injuries to the foot or ankle, such as sprains or fractures, can result in inflammation and swelling. Certain medications, like some blood pressure drugs, steroids, and antidepressants, can have fluid retention as a side effect.

Treatment for lábduzzanat depends on the underlying cause. For mild swelling due to prolonged inactivity, simple measures like elevating the feet, gentle exercise, and avoiding tight footwear can provide relief. Compression stockings can also be beneficial in improving circulation. If the swelling is persistent or accompanied by other symptoms such as pain, redness, or shortness of breath, it is important to consult a healthcare professional to diagnose and treat the underlying medical condition.
