Specializes in Wound care

Pregnancy edema: Lower extremity swelling from pregnancy may cause long term complication. Good supportive athletic shoes and support hose may reduce formation of varicose veins and long term edema. Simple decreased in activity with elevation of hands may reduce swelling and there are compression gloves available. Medications should be approved by obstetrician.
