Swelling across the body, or generalized edema, is often a sign of deeper health issues such as kidney dysfunction, heart conditions, liver disease, or malnutrition. It typically occurs when excess fluid gets trapped in the body’s tissues and can cause noticeable puffiness in the face, legs, feet, or abdomen. In a busy and well-equipped region like South Delhi, it’s important to consult a specialist who can accurately identify the cause and provide targeted treatment.
