Edema is the medical term for swelling caused by the accumulation of excess fluid in the body's tissues. It can occur in various parts of the body, such as the legs, ankles, and lungs, and may result from factors like injury, inflammation, or underlying health conditions such as heart or kidney disease. Treatment often focuses on addressing the underlying cause and may include medications, lifestyle changes, or compression therapy.
