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.

akshita12Keymaster1 year, 7 months agoHey there, while we can’t cure heart disease, we can manage its signs and symptoms better.
Researchers are always striving to develop new and better coronary artery disease treatments. Newer drugs, that can reduce your LDL cholesterol (the kind that leads to coronary artery disease) to lower levels than before.
A complete cure for coronary artery disease is a long way off, though. For example, doctors still don’t have the ability to erase plaque in arteries completely.
We will likely become better at preventing coronary artery disease before we find a cure for it. This is very important because the best treatment for coronary artery disease is the coronary artery disease you never develop.
Prevention is key because heart muscle can’t regrow after it’s damaged by incidents such as a heart attack. There is some evidence that we may be able to delay or even prevent a heart attack by aggressively treating high blood pressure and high cholesterol .However, once a heart attack occurs and heart muscle dies, we can’t regenerate those cells.
No exact cure is present because we can’t control age, genetics, and gender. BUT you can make lifestyle changes to prevent coronary artery disease from developing in the first place.
akshita12Keymaster1 year, 7 months agoThere are mainly three vital vitamins that can help you with bladder control:

As per the research, Vitamin C is positively connected with urinary storage or incontinence. Vitamin C, mainly from food and beverages, is directly linked with decreased urinary urgency and helps in bladder control.
Some good sources of Vitamin C that you can consider are :
- Citrus fruits
- Green and red peppers
- Broccoli
- Brussel sprouts
- Cauliflower
- Lefay green
- Sweet and white potatoes
- Tomatoes or tomato juice
- Vitamin D
Vitamin D is not only best for your bones but is also great for the immune system. If you have deficiency of Vitamin D, your risk of pelvic floor disorder and urinary incontinence is higher. Therefore, it is best to include it in your diet for a healthy bladder.
It is found in dairy products like milk, eggs, fish, and yogurts.
- Magnesium
It is another vital vitamin that helps improve incontinence symptoms by reducing bladder muscle spasms and allowing the bladder to empty perfectly. You must include it in your diet to prevent chances of UTIs.
Some good sources of magnesium are:

akshita12Keymaster1 year, 7 months agoAntibiotics are the your best bet and the first line of treatment for UTIs. However, the type of medicine, dosage and duration for which it is to be taken depends upon your health and the type of bacteria found in your urine during the diagnosis.
Some commonly used antibiotics for uncomplicated UTIs are:
- Cephalexin
- Ceftriaxone
- Fosfomycin
UTIs generally clear up within a few days of starting the treatment, but you must take continuous antibiotics for the entire prescribed term. In case of a complicated UTI or kidney infection, your doctor might provide fluoroquinolone medicine if there are no other treatment options. With appropriate antibiotic treatment, even severe UTIs start to reduce within some days. Home remedies for cases with mild UTIs may also help you reduce symptoms and prevent infections.
