Fat! sadly i can't post pics but i'm prettty sure it got dropsy if not its pregnant but just in case its dropsy how do i cure it, what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fat vs pregnant vs: Dropsy is an old term for edema. Pregnant women can get edema from the pressure of fetus on lower extremity venous drainage. Obese folks often get edema for somewhat similar reasons and just plain venous insufficiency and other causes exist. The cause dictates the treatment.
