About Swollen Ankles During Pregnancy

Swollen ankles during pregnancy, medically termed edema, is a common condition where fluid accumulates in the lower extremities due to physiological changes. While often a normal part of pregnancy, an Obstetrics and Gynaecologist evaluates this symptom to rule out serious underlying causes like preeclampsia or deep vein thrombosis. The 'procedure' involves a comprehensive clinical assessment, including a detailed history, physical examination to check for pitting edema and other signs, blood pressure monitoring, and potentially urine tests for protein. Management focuses on conservative measures like elevation, compression stockings, dietary modifications, and monitoring. This proactive evaluation is crucial for maternal and fetal well-being, ensuring a safe pregnancy journey.
