What causes edema in the legs during pregnancy

Patient's question:

I am very scared when this happens. I often have lower abdominal pain and don't know how to solve it, so I came here to consult. Could you please tell me what causes the swelling of the feet during pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the problem is caused by poor circulation, which might be due to a lack of protein. You could eat more protein-rich foods or supplement with protein powder.
Everyone's situation is different, so it's best to consult a doctor. Irregular menstruation can have many causes, and clinically, it is usually divided into two major categories: one is functional, such as menstrual disorders caused by endocrine dysfunction; the other is organic, such as conditions like pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, or endometriosis, which can also lead to menstrual disorders.
Go to the hospital for a check-up, take medication as prescribed, and eat more foods that boost qi and blood or traditional Chinese medicine for regulating menstruation, such as angelica, astragalus, or motherwort. Drink plenty of water, reduce spicy and foods, pay attention to a balanced diet, and exercise more. Wishing you good health.
