A member asked:

I want to know what's the reason for feet swelling?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Swelling: Often caused by venous insufficiency or lymphedema where fluid will accumulate in feet and legs: especially after being on feet or sitting with legs hanging down. Congestive heart failure is also a possibility. See your physician for proper evaluation and diagnosis.
