Edema
Swelling feet result from edema. The process that causes edema is a complex biological reaction involving leaking blood vessels, or capillaries, and the kidneys, which respond by retaining more water and sodium to make up for the fluid lost from blood vessels. These reactions cause fluid to build up in your body, which again causes more leakage from your capillaries. Fluid builds up in your body's tissues, and the tissues swell. Untreated edema can cause added swelling that becomes painful, stiffness, stretched skin and poor blood circulation. Failure to treat your edema can lead to trouble walking, scarring of the tissues in your body and damage to your skin, arteries and joints, notes MayoClinic.com.

Don't wear clothing that restricts circulation in your legs. Engage in regular exercise, and maintain a healthy weight, advises MayoClinic.com.
Treatment
To reduce swelling, lie down, and elevate your feet above your heart, suggests MedlinePlus. Perform leg exercises to move fluid back to your heart, and wear support hose if necessary. A low-sodium diet can reduce swelling. MayoClinic.com recommends a massage with a firm, stroking pressure toward the heart to reduce swelling. Your doctor might prescribe a diuretic, known as a water or fluid pill, to reduce the swelling in your feet.
