Swollen feet in late pregnancy can be relieved by avoiding prolonged standing, elevating the lower limbs, and actively treating underlying diseases.
1. Avoid standing for a long time: in late pregnancy, the enlargement of the uterus is easy to compress the inferior vena cava, resulting in obstruction of venous return, which will cause edema in the legs and feet of pregnant women. It is recommended not to stand or sit for a long time in late pregnancy, and get up and move around properly to avoid edema.
2. Elevate the lower limbs: when resting or sleeping, you can elevate the lower limbs appropriately to help blood circulation.
3. Actively treat the underlying disease: If the edema is caused by pregnancy hypertension, kidney and other related diseases, you need to actively carry out the treatment of the original disease in order to slow down the edema.
Therefore, patients with swollen legs and feet in late pregnancy are advised to consult a doctor in time in order to clarify the specific cause of the disease and give targeted treatment.
