Doctors talked about the causes of swelling and ways to fight them

Recently, patients' complaints about fluid retention in the body have become more frequent, so doctors had to analyze the situation and find a way to combat this phenomenon.

Water is the main component of the human body. It is found in blood, bones, muscles and fat. Special hormones are responsible for regulating the water level in the body, and excess moisture is excreted with urine thanks to the kidneys. In the case when the system does not remove excess fluid, edema appears.

Most often, water accumulates in the body as a result of impaired functioning of the kidneys, lymphatic system, and heart. Reduced physical activity can also be the cause. Kidneys are the filter of the body, and excess fluid makes it difficult for them to work.

Doctors recommend reducing the amount of salty food, checking the level of group B vitamins and diagnosing the thyroid gland. Mandatory therapy for edema is walking, which improves blood circulation in the legs.
