About Swelling in Legs in Delhi
Swelling in the legs, or peripheral edema, is the buildup of excess fluid in the tissues of the feet, ankles, or lower legs, causing puffiness and sometimes discomfort or tightness of the skin. It can affect one or both legs and may worsen with prolonged standing or sitting. Persistent swelling often reflects an underlying circulatory, kidney, or heart issue rather than simple fatigue.
