Ankle Swelling

Ankle Swelling

The ankle, or talocrural region, is the region where the foot and the leg meet. The ankle incudes three joints: the ankle joint proper or talocrural joint, the subtalar joint, and the Inferior tibiofibular joint. In common usage, the term ankle refers exclusively to the ankle region. In medical terminology, "ankle" (without qualifiers) can refer broadly to the region or specifically to the talocrural joint. In medical parlance, swelling, turgescence or tumefaction is a transient abnormal enlargement of a body part or area not caused by proliferation of cells. It is caused by accumulation of fluid in tissues. It can occur throughout the body (generalized), or a specific part or organ can be affected (localized). A body part may swell in response to injury, infection, or disease. Swelling, especially of the ankle, can occur if the body is not circulating fluid well. The cure for Swollen Ankles normally includes treating the condition that actually caused it. A general physician usually prescribes a diuretic for Swollen Ankles treatment. A diuretic helps the kidneys flush out the extra fluid that are contained within the ankle tissues. Doctors also normally advise several lifestyle modifications for Swollen Ankle treatment.
