What are the symptoms of edema in the early stage?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Menstrual edema, according to TCM theory, is caused by spleen deficiency or kidney deficiency, which cannot transport fluids, leading to fluid retention in the body. Women may experience edema during their menstrual period, with the location and degree of swelling varying from person to person, but it is often more noticeable around the eyelids.
