Pregnancy
In order to nourish the growing fetus, the body produces extra blood and biological fluids during pregnancy. Pregnancy often causes swelling, particularly in the third trimester. It can have an impact on the hands, face, legs, feet, and ankles.
Small swellings are frequent and typically harmless. The potentially fatal illness known as preeclampsia, however, may be indicated by abrupt swelling of the hands and face. Pregnant women who experience minor edema may find relief from natural treatments like:
- consumption of potassium-rich foods
- lowering salt consumption
- eliminating caffeine
- wearing supportive footwear
- putting on support hose
- avoid standing still for a long time.
- when sleeping, raise your feet
- putting on cold adsorbents
- wearing comfortable clothing
- avoiding the outdoors in the heat
- rest in the pool
