oteviljenje

Oteviljenje, also known as "otok" or "otokanje," is a condition characterized by the swelling of body tissues due to the accumulation of excess fluid. This condition can affect various parts of the body, including the extremities, face, and abdomen. Oteviljenje is often a symptom of underlying medical conditions, such as heart failure, kidney disease, liver disease, or certain medications.

The primary cause of oteviljenje is the retention of fluid in the body's tissues. This can occur due to an imbalance in the body's fluid levels, often resulting from increased blood volume or reduced fluid excretion by the kidneys. In some cases, oteviljenje may be caused by lifestyle factors, such as a sedentary lifestyle, excessive salt intake, or dehydration.

The symptoms of oteviljenje typically include swelling in the affected areas, which may be accompanied by discomfort, pain, or a feeling of heaviness. In severe cases, oteviljenje can lead to complications such as skin changes, skin breakdown, or increased risk of infection.

Treatment for oteviljenje depends on the underlying cause. In cases where oteviljenje is due to heart failure, medications such as diuretics may be prescribed to help reduce fluid retention. For kidney disease, lifestyle modifications and medications may be recommended to improve kidney function and reduce fluid buildup. In cases where oteviljenje is caused by a medication, the doctor may adjust the dosage or switch to an alternative medication.

Prevention of oteviljenje involves maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, a balanced diet, and adequate hydration. It is also important to monitor fluid intake and avoid excessive salt consumption. Regular medical check-ups can help detect and manage underlying conditions that may contribute to oteviljenje.
