2. Common Causes
Edema is a relatively common condition and it can be caused by everyday things. For example, if you remain sat in one place for too long then blood can begin to accumulate in blood vessels there, potentially causing the leak of fluids. It is encouraged that you should at least take a few minutes to walk around occasionally.
Some women will also experience edema when they are menstruating, while women who are pregnant will also sometimes experience the condition. If you are experiencing edema for no apparent reason, it might be that you have too much salt in your diet.
