Edema is a medical condition characterized by swelling and puffiness. When excess fluid becomes trapped in tissue throughout the body, swelling occurs and can lead to pain, discomfort, or more severe medical complications. Edema can occur as a result of underlying disease or as a result of injury, diets high in salt, or prolonged standing.
