Edema is a common medical condition that occurs when fluid builds up in the tissues and swelling occurs in one part of the body, it mainly affects your extremities, namely your feet, ankles and legs.

As edema develops and worsens, it can stretch your skin, cause inconvenience when you go about your daily activities, and lead to serious health problems if left untreated.
The appearance of edema is closely related to the location and degree of swelling. If you have not suffered any injuries, swelling in the legs, ankles or feet may be a symptom of edema, which can cause uneasy feelings.

In addition to these common conditions listed above, edema is also a sign of certain underlying medical problems:
