Fluid Overload Management

Fluid overload occurs when the body has too much fluid, which can lead to swelling and strain on the heart and lungs. Managing fluid overload involves monitoring fluid intake and output, adjusting medications, and sometimes using diuretics, which help the body eliminate excess fluid through urine. Lifestyle changes, like reducing salt intake and correcting underlying health issues (like heart or kidney problems), are also important. The goal is to restore balance, ensuring the body functions well without excess fluid causing complications. Regular check-ups with a healthcare provider are essential for effective management.
