    accumulation of excess fluid in body tissues

    Edema, also known as swelling or fluid retention, is the medical term for the accumulation of excess fluid in the body's tissues. This can occur in various parts of the body, such as the legs, ankles, and feet, and can be caused by a range of factors including injury, inflammation, heart failure, kidney disease, or certain medications. Edema can lead to discomfort and reduced mobility, and its underlying cause often requires medical evaluation and treatment.
