What Causes Swelling All Over The Body?

I have severe swelling in my body from below my chest down to my feet and ankles and including my penis and scrotum. I have tried massaging, icing once, and squeezing. Symptoms have persisted about three weeks and don t seem to be improving. Swelling started in feet and ankles first and has moved up. What can you suggest I try to alleviate this very uncomfortable condition?

Welcome at HCM
i have gone through your query and being your doctor I completely understand your health concerns..
What is your age? Any history of diabetes or hypertension? Any liver problem? Any other systemic illness? Are u smoker?
Based upon your history , in my opinion you require a complete evaluation by a physician so that exact etiology can he sorted out. If I were your attending physician I will look for your heart kidneys and liver.
I will get your ECG Echo chest xray along with FBC liver function tests as well as kidney function tests. In light if these investigations I will be able to offer you treatment...
So meet your doctor so that you can be investigated and treated appropriately
Hope your query is addressed accordingly
