👉 Fluid, or blood, is a vital component of the human body that plays a crucial role in maintaining health and facilitating various physiological processes. When an injury occurs, fluid accumulates in the affected area due to increased vascular permeability and swelling, a process known as edema. This excess fluid can lead to swelling, particularly in the limbs, and may also cause discomfort or pain. The body's inflammatory response is triggered by the injury, further contributing to fluid accumulation as part of healing. While this fluid is essential for delivering nutrients and removing waste products, excessive fluid retention can lead to complications such as lymphedema or increased risk of infection. Understanding and managing fluid balance post-injury is crucial for effective recovery and preventing secondary issues.
