Leg oedema refers to the build-up of excess fluid in the tissues of the lower limbs. While occasional swelling can result from standing for long hours, chronic oedema may signal venous problems, lymphatic issues, or systemic health concerns. The condition can cause tightness, discomfort, and difficulty walking, and if untreated, may progress to skin breakdown or infection.
At Radiance Clinic, Thane, Dr Ashish Sarode, a board certified vascular and interventional radiologist, treatment for leg oedema is tailored to the underlying cause. Management may involve dietary changes, compression therapy, targeted exercises, and advanced vein procedures if venous insufficiency is detected. The focus is not only on reducing fluid retention but also on preventing recurrence and protecting overall vascular health.
