Punca Kaki Bengkak dan Cara Mengurangkannya

Assalamualaikum,

Dah hampir seminggu kaki aku bengkak atau sembab. Haritu macam dah kurang. Aku syak sebab aku banyak berjalan, tapi bila surf internet, rupa-rupanya banyak berjalan bukan penyebabnya. In fact, banyak berjalan boleh mengurangkan bengkak..

Mak aku cakap supposedly 5 bulan pregnant ni tak patut sembab pun kaki tu. Normally hujung-hujung pregnancy baru sembab. Tapi sebenarnya tak kira bila-bila pun. Kalo kita tak banyak gerak, kaki memang bleh bengkak. Ceh, nampak sangat aku ni kurang bergerak hahaha...

Here's what I found in the net:

Why does your body swollen during pregnancy?


Pregnancy puts a strain on the circulation in your lower body. This can cause excess fluid to collect, creating swollen feet, ankles and even varicose veins. Sitting for a long time at a desk, in a car or on a plane slows down the blood from your extremities to your heart even more.



How to reduce the swelling?

• Lie on your left side when you sleep to relieve some of the pressure on your veins.
• Put your feet up when ever possible.
• Soak your feet in cool water.
• Do not cross your legs or ankles when you sit.
• Stretch your legs often when you do have to sit for extended periods. Rotate your ankles, stretch your calf and heal and wiggle your toes.
• Drink water. This sounds counter intuitive, but the water actually helps your body function better, including retaining less water.
• Wear comfortable shoes and avoid socks that have tight bands.
