I'm experiencing some swelling in my legs and ankles, and I suspect it might be due to water retention. Can you recommend a medical center or a doctor who specializes in this kind of issue? Also, are there any medicines you would suggest that might help with this?

Swelling of the legs and ankles along with water retention can be indicative of conditions such as edema or heart failure. In this case, a diuretic medication like Furosemide can be helpful in reducing the swelling and managing water retention. The usual dosage for Furosemide is 20-80 mg per day, depending on the severity of the condition. It is important to consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and prescription of this medication.
