LEG SWELLING (EDEMA)

CAUSES OF LEG SWELLING 

While temporary swelling can occur from standing or sitting too long, persistent leg swelling often indicates an underlying health condition. Common causes include:

• Venous disease (most common)
• Heart conditions
• Kidney or liver issues
• Lymphedema
• Infections

Expert Insight: Leg swelling is frequently the first and sometimes the only sign of vein disease. Early evaluation can prevent progression to more serious conditions.

Chronic Venous Insufficiency 

When leg vein valves malfunction, blood can flow backward and pool in your legs. This condition can cause swelling, aching, and fatigue - even before visible signs like varicose veins appear.

Varicose Veins 

Beyond their visible appearance, varicose veins often cause:

• Leg swelling and pain
• Evening fatigue
• Skin changes around ankles
• Persistent aching
• Itching or burning sensations

Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) 

This serious condition occurs when blood clots form in deep leg veins. Watch for:

• Sudden leg swelling
• Localized pain or tenderness
• Skin warmth or redness
