What department should a woman with swollen legs go to?

Which department should I go to for swollen legs? In many cases, it is impossible to determine the cause of this disease based on symptoms alone. We also need to make a reasonable judgment based on the patient's age, whether there are other discomforts besides leg swelling, what happens when pressing the swollen position, whether both legs are swollen or only one leg, etc.

First of all, some people suffer from constitutional edema. People of this type do not have edema when they wake up in the morning, but experience swollen calves at noon and frequent urination at night. This group of people actually do not have any diseases and do not require serious medical treatment.

Second, patients with cirrhosis may also experience swelling of the feet, which may be caused by chronic hepatitis. If edema occurs, it means that liver function tests have been affected.

Third, patients with heart failure may feel shortness of breath when walking or climbing stairs, and may also develop edema.

Fourth, people with kidney problems. Due to the decline of kidney function, the body's water cannot be completely excreted, resulting in swollen feet.

Fifth, swelling of the feet caused by medicines. Some medicines can affect the metabolism of kidney function. For example, some patients with chronic arthritis may also experience this condition after taking some medicines. If you stop taking these drugs, the condition can be cured with proper treatment.

Eventually, some blood vessels and lymph vessels become blocked. This type of problem usually involves swelling in the calf on one side.

Based on the identification of the above symptoms, you can pretend to know a little bit. If there is no matching symptom, you can go to the hospital for consultation first and then make an appointment. No matter what the symptoms are, everyone needs to be responsible for their own bodies and should not ignore them because the symptoms are mild or due to the corresponding physical edema. Pay attention to your physical examination regularly, so as to be responsible for your own body.
