Edema is often a signal of heart disease, liver disease, kidney disease, endocrine and other diseases, but some edema is not a manifestation of the disease, but a physiological reaction.

Some women aged 20-40 years old with idiopathic edema often have mild edema on eyelids and face after getting up in the morning, and depressed edema or tightness in lower limbs. As the activity goes on, it gradually fades and fades. Most scholars believe that it is related to neuropsychiatric factors and autonomic nervous dysfunction.

Reactive edema Some people, especially those who work at high temperature or are obese and inactive, are affected by the high temperature of the environment, the skin blood vessels spread, and body fluids permeate and accumulate in subcutaneous tissue, which often causes edema of hands and feet. After summer, it will fade by itself. But every summer, it will be repeated for many years.

Standing, walking, squatting or sitting for a long time can cause postural edema, which can be relieved and disappeared by itself after changing posture for a period of time.

Premenstrual edema Some healthy women have mild edema on eyelids, back of hands, ankles and even lower limbs, as well as symptoms such as irritability, insomnia, fatigue and headache within one week or half a month before menstrual cramps. When menstruation comes, symptoms such as edema can gradually subside.

Drug-induced edema, such as adrenocortical hormone, testosterone, androgen, insulin, thiourea, licorice and other drugs, can cause edema of face, hands and feet, and the edema will gradually subside after stopping taking drugs.

Don't worry about the above edema, not to mention the indiscriminate use of drugs. But if edema is caused by disease, we should actively treat the primary disease.
