Swelling Disorders
Swelling disorders refer to conditions where parts of the body become enlarged due to an accumulation of fluid, inflammation, or other factors. Common examples include edema, which is often caused by injury, infection, or underlying health issues like heart or kidney problems. These disorders can affect any area of the body, leading to discomfort and mobility issues.
Treatment for swelling disorders typically focuses on addressing the underlying cause. This may involve medications, lifestyle changes, or physical therapy. In some cases, compression garments or elevation of the affected area can help reduce swelling and improve circulation. Early diagnosis and management are essential for effective treatment.
