If you feel swelling
Swelling, or edema, occurs when excess fluid builds up in the spaces between cells and tissues in the body.
Even in healthy individuals, temporary swelling may happen due to prolonged sitting or standing, or excessive salt intake.
However, if swelling occurs frequently or persists over time, it may be a sign of an underlying health condition.
Common symptoms of edema include puffiness in the legs, hands, or face, and indentations in the skin that take time to return to normal after being pressed.
The timing and location of the swelling can also provide important clues to its cause.
At Sakura Clinic, we begin with a thorough consultation to explore possible causes, and offer individualized testing and treatment plans tailored to each patient.
