What causes women's swollen feet

The phenomenon of swollen feet often occurs in people's bodies, but the causes of swollen feet may be different for people of every age and gender. Female friends are physically weak, so if their feet are often swollen, they need to pay close attention. Because swollen feet in women may be caused by a lesion in an organ of the body, the following is a summary of the causes of swollen feet in women.

1. The most common cause of swollen feet in women is kidney disease, including nephrotic syndrome, chronic glomerulonephritis, chronic renal failure and other diseases. The diagnosis can be confirmed by checking urine routine, urine protein quantification, creatinine, urea, and blood albumin indicators. If there is an increase in urine protein or an increase in creatinine or urea, it means that there is kidney damage, and the cause needs to be further clarified and targeted treatment is required. Nephrotic syndrome requires treatment with hormones or immunosuppressants, chronic nephritis requires blood pressure control and treatment to reduce urine protein, and patients with chronic renal failure even require hemodialysis treatment. In addition to kidney disease, heart failure, hypothyroidism, varicose veins in the lower limbs, venous thrombosis, and local skin tissue infection can also cause swollen feet. These complications often have obvious clinical manifestations, such as chest tightness, local skin redness, swelling, heat, and pain, and can generally be clearly diagnosed.

2. When women have swollen feet, the following reasons are generally considered: 1. Physiological edema. Women's menstrual period, pregnancy, taking contraceptives, injecting ovulation drugs, etc. can all cause swollen feet. 2. Too little activity and standing or sitting for too long can lead to poor circulation and swollen feet. 3. Malnutrition edema and hypoproteinemia. 4. Pathological edema. Chronic nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, diabetes, diabetic nephropathy, hypertension, hypertensive nephropathy, coronary heart disease, acute and chronic heart failure, inferior vena cava obstruction syndrome, thrombophlebitis, etc.

3. In daily clinical work, many patients come to see a doctor because of swollen legs and feet, and female patients are also common. What may be the cause of swollen feet in female patients? In fact, the following points should be considered: Pathologically speaking, it may be caused by heart disease, such as heart failure and heart failure, which can be judged through BNP examination and cardiac ultrasound examination. In addition to cardiac factors, kidney disease or local vascular disease can also cause swollen feet. In addition, swollen feet caused by low protein may also occur due to wasting diseases such as tumors or malnutrition. Of course, there is another particularly important factor for women. Some women's swollen feet are related to their menstrual cycle, which proves that the swollen feet may be correlated with the secretion and release of hormones. Therefore, if the above problems occur, it is very important to go to the hospital to clarify the cause.
