Hi
Edema is the accumulation of fluid in bodily tissues or a body cavity. The word edema is derived from the Middle English word ydema, which comes from the Greek word for "swelling." Edema is an observable condition in which the swelling is usually apparent. Most commonly found in the feet and legs, edema occurs beneath the skin in the spaces within the body tissues outside of the blood vessels, called interstitial spaces or compartments.
Edema is most often a manifestation of underlying diseases of the liver, heart and kidneys and is directly caused by salt retention. Besides the legs and feet, other main areas in which edema can occur are the lungs (alveoli), the abdomen or peritoneal cavity and the chest. When edema occurs in the lungs, it is called pulmonary edema and is usually caused by heart failure.

Hi
Idiopathic edema is a type of pitting edema which occurs without any obvious underlying disease or condition. It is most often seen in women who experience edema in the legs and feet when they are pre-menopausal or pre-menstrual. The condition is therefore also known as cyclical edema. Besides treating the underlying condition that contributes to edema, doctors often recommend diuretics and reduction of salt intake to treat the swelling itself.
Thanks

Edema is the medical term for excessive fluid accumulation within the interstitial space within the cavities of the body. Cerebral edema is extracellular fluid accumulation in the brain. Edema can occur as a result of gravity, especially from sitting or standing in one place for too long. Water naturally gets pulled down into your legs and feet.
