What Causes Lower Leg Swelling?

Lower leg swelling occurs due to

problems with the lower circulation system

. Commonly, this is because of peripheral edema, or liquid retention in the legs, when small veins and blood vessels leak fluid. It can also occur in the hands, neck, arms, and feet. When in the lower legs, lymphedema leads to stagnant proteins and may indicate abnormalities in the lymphatic system. Other reasons for it include surgery, other medical conditions or chronic illnesses, and radiation therapy.

Some patients experience it immediately, while others don’t notice symptoms until years later.

If your symptoms continue to worsen despite efforts to self-treat, you may want to see a doctor.
