What Causes Swelling In Feet, Ankles And Calf?

High blood pressure or DVT can be the cause
Detailed Answer:
Hello, I have studied your case. Swelling in legs and feet after prolong standing is mostly due to high blood pressure. And as you are saying that it is after surgery so DVT can also be a cause. I have following suggestions for you.
1.Check your blood pressure. If it is high then you need to reduced salt intake. Also if it remains high then you need to start anti hypertension therapy.
2. Doppler examination can be done to check if you re having DVT.
3. Your blood albumin, urea level also needs to be checked.
I hope this answer will be useful for you. let me know if there is any other followup questions. thanks
