Water Retention

Description

Water retention—often called a “swollen body,” “puffiness,” or simply “swelling”—is a common condition where excess fluid builds up in the body’s tissues, leading to visible bloating in areas like the feet, legs, hands, or face. Also known as edema, fluid retention, or hypervolemia, this problem can have many causes, from salty foods and long periods of sitting or standing, to more serious issues involving the heart, kidneys, or liver. Symptoms can include rapid weight gain, tight or shiny skin, and when you press on a swollen area, it might leave a noticeable dent (called pitting edema). If you notice ongoing or sudden swelling, it’s important to see a doctor, as self-diagnosis or trendy treatments may not address the root cause and can sometimes be harmful. Find out how quality care and expert assessment in South Korea can help you understand, manage, and treat swollen body symptoms safely and effectively.
