Edema Congestive

Stagnant edema is a pathological condition caused by stagnation of fluid in tissues and organs, which can lead to various diseases and dysfunctions of the body. It can occur in any organ and tissue of the body, but it is most often seen in the legs and arms, especially around the joints.

Congestive edema can be caused by various factors, such as prolonged immobility, physical activity, insufficient fluid intake, inflammatory processes and other diseases. It often accompanies chronic diseases such as heart, kidney and liver diseases, as well as injuries and bruises.

One of the most common types of fluid stagnation is the presence of swelling of the hands or feet. This is due to the fact that the body does not have a mechanism for quickly removing fluid and salt through the skin, and therefore swelling occurs when blood flow is impaired. Swelling may need to be caused by larger shoes, insufficient ventilation by shoes or shoe products.

Symptoms of fluid retention include heaviness and pain in the joints, swelling and hardening of the skin, loss of sensation and flexibility in the area of ​​the swelling, and the presence of visible veins and veins that cause discomfort. With a long stay in a standing or sitting position, swelling normally occurs in the feet, the anterolateral subcutaneous area, and in the lower back.

This can lead to serious consequences such as joint and tissue damage, various joint diseases and impaired mobility. In some cases, surgery may be required to remove excess fluid.

To avoid fluid stagnation, it is necessary to pay enough attention to physical activity, proper nutrition and regular drinking regimen. It is also recommended to avoid prolonged stay in one position and heavy physical activity.

If you experience symptoms of fluid stagnation, it is recommended that you consult a physician. Treatment depends on the cause of the swelling and may include medication, exercise, proper fluid intake, and cooling the area.

**Swelling Edema**. Edema is a consequence of chronic inflammation of a certain area. This inflammation leads to an increase in the amount of fluid in the tissues of the area. Therefore, it is generally accepted that edema is the body’s reaction to an increased flow of blood and fluid. The cause of edema can be inflammatory and acute injury to the tissues that surround the damaged area, as well as pressure from the venous system. When pressure levels drop in the blood vessels directly over an area, fluid from inflammation or blood can accumulate in the area, causing local swelling. Venous blood containing plasma rises due to a drop in pressure levels in the large veins. This process is associated with three factors: the size of the human body, the obstruction of blood flow, and the pressure that blood vessels exert on the surrounding tissues. These factors explain swelling and its prevalence in different parts of the body. Circulatory disorders in the lower extremities occur quite often and are associated with the use of uncomfortable tight shoes and tight clothing, improper walking, stress and other reasons, the etiological factor being long-term static loads.

Swelling can appear in the same areas regardless of the time of year, but can be seasonal, for example associated with high humidity, temperature fluctuations, etc. If the area begins to swell regularly, then you should think about the presence of a chronic pathology. Swelling may begin unnoticed and become more noticeable over time. In mild cases, a complication such as swelling usually goes away without a trace. If you leave the situation without treatment, the leg will not stop growing and the end result is trophic disorders, non-healing ulcers, changes in bone tissue (especially for the limbs), purulent lesions and necrosis. Common complications that may arise as a result of disruption of the integrity of the walls of small vessels are the appearance of varicose veins. Risk factors for this disease: - venotoxicity (taking drugs containing snake venom); - history of problems with veins (varicose veins, superficial venous injuries);

In order to distinguish inflammation from edema, in addition to the standard signs of inflammation, it is necessary to pay attention to the degree of swelling: - severe swelling does not give rest; - at the first location of the leg, the calf muscle (in the same location where the swelling appeared) is pierced with pain; - severe swelling and swelling occurs 3 hours after installation.

Congestive edema (congestiu m), also known as congestive edema or renal hydrops, is a rare condition that appears as swelling or swelling in the kidney area. It occurs when blood cannot flow normally through the kidneys, causing fluid to accumulate in the cavity and cause swelling around the kidney.

The main symptoms associated with stasis edema include swelling of the lower back and abdomen, abdominal pain, difficulty urinating and urinating, and abnormal body temperature. Increased blood pressure, vomiting, weakness, headache and decreased urination may also occur over a long period of time.

In children and adolescents, it is most often observed after certain diseases associated, for example, with inflammatory processes in the body: for example, with pulmonary tuberculosis, typhoid fever, pharyngitis or sinusitis, rheumatism, urethritis, pancreatitis or appendicitis, as well as during surgical interventions.
