Fluid Accumulation
Fluid accumulation refers to the buildup of excess fluid in body tissues or cavities. This condition can occur in various parts of the body, such as the lungs, abdomen, or legs, and is often a result of underlying health issues like heart failure, kidney disease, or infections.
When fluid accumulates, it can lead to swelling, discomfort, and impaired function of the affected area. Medical professionals may use imaging techniques or physical examinations to diagnose the cause and determine appropriate treatments, which may include medications or procedures to remove the excess fluid.
