What Causes Calf Swelling?

I had an EWLS approx 3 weeks ago, and one prior to that 2 weeks earlier... if they started having swelling in the calves of the legs.. noticed mainly due to dents from socks at first. Would this be a reason to contact the urologist? I hate going if I don't have to, but I see that it is a sign of kidney issues and don't want to be stupid.

Hi,

Yes, there is reason to contact the urologist. Because it may be due to fluid retention which will usually be due to some kidney issue.

Stay healthy and let me know if you need any clarifications.

Thanks!
