Therapist of the highest category Alexei Vodovozov named the common causes of edema. The specialist quotes RT.

The doctor recalled that edema during pregnancy is a variant of the norm, but recurring edema in other cases can indicate ailments - for example, of the cardiovascular or urinary systems. In addition, the therapist named liver damage and vascular problems as possible causes of edema.

“Next, deep veins. It can be either deep vein thrombosis or chronic venous insufficiency. Both will be accompanied by edema, they will be slightly different, but a phlebologist will be able to distinguish one from the other, ”said Vodovozov.

Swelling can also be caused by drugs, he says, as well as diets or malnutrition — for example, swelling can be caused by a lack of protein in the diet.

Earlier, Vodovozov expressed the opinion that the “omicron” strain will take a dominant position in the world, but it will survive the “fall” by the end of this year. In 2021, the same thing happened with the Delta strain of COVID-19, he said. The doctor also reminded that the only way to reduce the risk of infection with coronavirus is vaccination.
