Hi,
Thanks for your query.

There are numerous causes and conditions that produce swelling in the ankles. A few important causes are chronic venous insufficiency, Heart related issues, kidneydisorders, liver problems, water retention etc.

A thorough and detailed evaluation along with a few investigations are needed to establish the correct diagnosis.

I suggest you to consult a General physician for further evaluation and management.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any more concern.
Warm Regards.
