Cyclic edema is a worrying medical condition that can lead to fluid retention in the body in an orthostatic position (meaning when you are in an upright position, eg, standing). The condition could signify underlying issues like heart failure, malnutrition, liver disorders, nephrotic symptoms, etc.
If you are experiencing urine retention along with swelling on the face and leg, your body is “storing” the excess fluid instead of flushing it out via urine. If left untreated, the condition can lead to complications related to lymph production, even shortness of breath and discomfort in some individuals.
We recommend booking a consultation with your healthcare provider immediately for further testing and confirming a diagnosis. Also, make conscious changes to your diet by reducing salt intake and excess water consumption.
