What causes swelling and pain in the lower limbs?

It is impossible for healthy people to have edema in one lower limb. Therefore, edema of one lower limb is a pathological manifestation. Therefore, if edema occurs in one lower limb, you must actively find out the cause. Of course, according to expert research, there are still many reasons that lead to edema of one side of the lower limb. Let’s take a look at what are the main factors? Let’s take a brief look at it.

1. Lower limb edema is common in heart disease, kidney disease, lower limb phlebitis, etc. The blood clots caused by phlebitis can affect many important tissues and organs such as the heart, lungs, kidneys, and brain, and can eventually lead to organ embolism, causing ischemia and hypoxia, decreased organ tissue function, or even failure. Therefore, it is very important to find out the cause of lower limb edema so that the right medicine can be used to cure it, which is conducive to restoring health. No matter who you are, you need to deal with this situation, otherwise the consequences will be unbearable.

2. Physiological condition: In fact, in many cases, normal people may also have unilateral lower limb edema. For example, they always sleep on the same side. It may be due to a heavy load, which leads to poor blood circulation and causes unilateral lower limb edema. Generally, this unilateral edema will disappear after exercise. So don’t be too concerned about this situation. However, we still need to learn more about health knowledge in this area.

3. Idiopathic edema, or edema caused by poor blood circulation. Facial edema often occurs in people with poor blood circulation and metabolism. This group includes people who are accustomed to drinking a lot of water before going to bed, people who often sit for a long time, people who usually have heavy tastes in their diet, people who often stay up late, and people who are born with poor metabolism. The resulting effect is that the blood circulation system becomes less effective, and there is no time to excrete excess waste water from the body. The water is retained in the capillaries and even seeps back into the skin, causing swelling. This swelling will gradually disappear automatically after you move around for a while after getting up.

Therefore, in daily life, you must pay more attention to your physical condition. If there is any abnormality, it is recommended to find some information first to see if there is a problem. This way you can have a general understanding of the specific situation. If you feel that the condition is serious, it is recommended to go to the hospital immediately for treatment. This is also one of the important aspects of considering your own health.
