This fluid &#8211; predominantly water with dissolved proteins and salts &#8211; leaks from the blood vessels into the surrounding tissue when the delicate balance between vascular pressure and lymphatic drainage is disturbed. Normally, the lymphatic system reliably removes excess tissue fluid. However, if this mechanism fails, fluid accumulates and visible or noticeable swelling occurs.   <\/p>\n<p><strong>Vascular permeability<\/strong> plays a central role here: inflammation, injuries or systemic diseases can lead to the vascular walls becoming more permeable and more fluid leaking out than can be removed. It is important to understand that edema is not a disease in its own right, but always a <strong>symptom<\/strong> &#8211; a signal from the body that something is wrong with the fluid balance. This is precisely why an exact diagnosis of the root cause is so crucial, as a lasting improvement can only be achieved if the actual cause is treated.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_5'  class='avia-section av-3d3vftm-1dded1d9caa8fe279fee12a455e761de main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-18  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-13439'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<div  class='flex_column av-2pp27ve-86bf6fef44811384d432c6d8c1c2687b av_one_full  avia-builder-el-19  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  first flex_column_div  '     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-36sqkje-3210561dd94fe1dbd96a0fd156b37b6a\">\n.avia-image-container.av-36sqkje-3210561dd94fe1dbd96a0fd156b37b6a img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-36sqkje-3210561dd94fe1dbd96a0fd156b37b6a .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-36sqkje-3210561dd94fe1dbd96a0fd156b37b6a av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-20  el_before_av_heading  avia-builder-el-first '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" class='wp-image-13462 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-13462 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/www.orthopaediezentrum-muenchenost.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ozmo-blog-oedeme-06.jpg\" alt='OZMO -
