What Causes Leg Swelling?

Leg swelling, also known as edema, can be caused by a variety of factors ranging from poor circulation to underlying health conditions. Common causes of leg swelling include:

• Varicose Veins: When the valves in the veins of the legs are weakened or damaged, it can lead to a buildup of pressure and cause swelling.
• Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): Blood clots in the deep veins of the legs can obstruct proper blood flow and result in swelling.
• Heart Failure: A weakened heart may struggle to pump blood effectively, leading to fluid retention and swelling in the legs.
