What to eat to reduce pregnancy edema

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if a pregnant woman only has swelling in her calves, treatment is generally not required. Resting more, avoiding prolonged standing, performing appropriate actions such as elevating the lower limbs, and reducing salt intake can help alleviate or even resolve the swelling. However, diuretic medications should not be overused, as they can cause potassium loss and may lead to hypokalemia.
