Women can prevent edema during pregnancy by adjusting their diet, proper exercise, resting in the left lateral position, etc. Meanwhile, they need to treat diseases that are prone to cause edema in a timely manner.
1. During pregnancy, women should pay attention to a balanced diet and eat more food rich in high quality protein to avoid edema caused by low plasma albumin concentration.
