Swollen Feet treatment in San Pedro Garza Garcia

Swelling of the feet, also known as edema in the feet, is the accumulation of fluid in the tissues that causes the area to look swollen and feel tight or heavy.

Frequent symptoms: swelling in one or both feet and ankles, a sensation of tightness in the skin, a mark left behind when pressing and, at times, discomfort when walking.

Possible causes: it may be due to standing or sitting for a long time, heat, circulation problems, or be a sign of other conditions worth investigating.

Who to see? The general practitioner can guide the first study; the angiologist or vascular surgeon evaluates when a circulatory origin is suspected, and the podiatrist supports foot care. If the swelling is persistent, painful, or affects only one side, the most sensible thing is to request a professional evaluation.
