    When edema is mentioned, it is immediately associated with kidney problems. Edema of the foot is easy to find, the finger press the instep can not bounce up, it is easy for the average person to notice, some patients can also observe that the shoes have become tighter, the indentation of the socks has become deeper.

    There are many causes of edema, and the first thing you have to look at is whether it is one foot or both feet. Edema of one foot is a local problem, such as venous thrombosis, varicose veins, cellulitis, arthritis, and some are caused by poor local blood or lymphatic circulation after traumatic surgery. Local problems are usually not related to other organs throughout the body.

    As for the edema of the lower extremities, of course, it is also necessary to consider the local problems that occur on both sides at the same time.

    As for edema on both sides, the most common cause of edema in girls is related to estrogen. Taking birth control pills, supplementing estrogen after menopause, injecting ovulation pills, and some women will have cyclic edema as the hormones in the body change during the menstrual cycle. But there are also some cases where excess estrogen is pathological, such as polycystic lesions of the ovaries.

    Then consider taking other medications, such as diuretics, which are often found in popular cocktails** drugs, and patients will have edema of the lower limbs, look fat and gain weight when they are not taking diuretics, so they will take more diuretics, so that a vicious circle can be formed, and even kidney function will be affected. In addition, some antihypertensive drugs, such as calcium blockers and vasodilators, may cause edema, which can be improved by switching to other drugs. Taking non-steroidal pain relievers and anti-inflammatory drugs is also a common cause.

    There is also a group of patients who cannot find a cause, but these patients do not have much impact other than a slight discomfort and cosmetic considerations.

    In addition to drugs and hormones, other causes of edema should be considered abnormalities in the kidneys, heart, and liver function. Heart failure leads to poor venous return, resulting in edema, and when lower extremity edema occurs, patients often have symptoms of dyspnea, and the diagnosis is confirmed by history. As for the edema caused by the liver, it is mainly caused by cirrhosis of the liver and low serum albumin.

    In general, from cirrhosis to edema of the lower extremities, other signs of cirrhosis should be obvious, such as ascites, spider angiomata, gynecomastia, etcPhysical examination can be used to make a differential judgment.
