Edema is swelling of both legs from a buildup of extra fluid. Prolonged standing or sitting, especially in hot weather, can cause excess fluid to accumulate in the feet, ankles and lower legs. Tiny valves inside the veins of the legs can become weakened, causing a common problem called venous insufficiency.
Excess fluid builds-up in the abdomen when a person has ascites. A build up of fluid in the abdomen, called ascites, is often caused by cirrhosis of the liver. Ascites is often related to alcoholism. Ascites may cause pressure on the diaphragm, leading to shortness of breathe. Persistent coughing and shortness of breath may accompany ascites.
