Body par swelling ko edema kehte hain, yani tissues mein fluid jama hona. Iske causes swelling ki jagah, duration aur saath ke symptoms par depend karte hain.
Common causes:
- Zyada der khade/sitting rehna, high-salt diet, heat, overweight
- Pregnancy
- Allergy, insect bite, ya kisi medicine ka reaction
- Kuch medicines, especially BP medicines (jaise amlodipine), steroids, hormones, painkillers
- Leg veins ki problem/varicose veins
- Kidney disease: aksar aankhon ya face ki sujan subah zyada ho sakti hai
- Heart ki pumping kam hona: pairon ki sujan ke saath saans phoolna
- Liver disease ya blood protein kam hona
- Thyroid problem
- Infection/injury: usually ek jagah dard, laalpan, garmahat ke saath
- Ek hi pair ki achanak sujan, pain ya redness: blood clot (DVT) bhi ho sakta hai
Emergency mein turant hospital/ambulance:
- Lips, tongue, face ya throat achanak sujna
- Saans lene mein dikkat, wheezing, chest pain, behoshi/dizziness
- Ek pair achanak bahut swollen, painful, red/warm ho, especially travel/surgery/bed rest ke baad
Sudden facial/throat swelling allergy (angioedema) ka sign ho sakta hai aur dangerous ho sakta hai, as described by the NHS angioedema guidance.
Doctor ko jaldi dikhayein agar sujan persistent hai, badh rahi hai, poore body mein hai, ya urine kam/foamy hai, weight rapidly badh raha hai, fever hai, ya saans phool rahi hai. Evaluation mein BP, urine test, kidney/liver/thyroid tests, blood protein, ECG/echo, aur leg Doppler ki zarurat ho sakti hai.
Tab tak: namak kam rakhein, lambi der ek hi position mein na rahen, pairon ko elevate karein. Bina doctor advice ke diuretic/water tablets mat lijiye. Generalized severe edema ko anasarca bhi kehte hain, aur kidney, heart, liver-related illness se ho sakta hai.
Aap bata sakte hain swelling kahan hai (face, legs, hands, whole body), kab se hai, aur pain, redness, breathlessness ya urine problem hai ya nahi?
