Edema is a condition that results due to fluid retention in tissues. It can occur due to various underlying reasons. Edema can occur anywhere in your body, but it is most often noticed in the hands, wrists, arms, ankles, legs, and feet. Edema starts slowly in majority of the cases, but it may develop suddenly in severe cases. If edema occurs in limbs, the movement of those areas can be affected. Edema of any part of the body should be given immediate medical attention as it can be due to a serious condition. It is treated by addressing its underlying cause.
