Gestational oedema - what does this mean

Gestational oedema is a condition that occurs during pregnancy and is characterized by the accumulation of excess fluid in the body's tissues. it is caused by increased levels of hormones, increased blood volume, and decreased protein levels in the blood. symptoms include swelling in the face, hands, feet, and ankles, as well as weight gain, headaches, and shortness of breath. treatment typically involves lifestyle changes, such as increasing fluid intake and decreasing salt intake, as well as medications.

What happens during the disease - gestational oedema

Gestational oedema is a condition that occurs when the body produces too much fluid during pregnancy, causing swelling in the hands, feet, ankles, and face. this is caused by an increase in the production of hormones in the body, which can lead to an increase in the permeability of the capillaries and a decrease in the action of the lymphatic system. this can cause the body to retain more fluid than normal, leading to swelling and oedema.
