Checking for swelling (edema) involves a few simple tests that doctors or even you can do at home. Here’s the lowdown:

1. *Pitting Test*: Press your finger firmly on the swollen area (like your ankle or leg) for a few seconds. If it leaves an indent that takes time to bounce back, it’s pitting edema—common in fluid retention.
2. *Weight Tracking*: Sudden weight gain can signal fluid buildup. Monitor your weight daily if you’re at risk.
3. *Circumference Measurement*: Use a tape to measure around swollen limbs periodically. Compare to previous measurements.
4. *Look for Signs*: Check for tightness in rings, shoes, or clothes. Skin might look stretched or shiny.
5. *Blood Tests*: Labs might check kidney/liver function, electrolytes, or albumin levels to find underlying causes.
6. *Imaging*: Ultrasounds or X‑rays rule out clots, heart issues, or other problems.

If swelling’s sudden, severe, or accompanied by pain, breathlessness, or redness—get medical help pronto. 💡
