Oedema is treated by correcting the cause, where possible, and by the use of diuretic drugs that increase the urinary water output.

When large accumulations of fluid occur, as in the abdomen, it may be necessary to drain fluid out through a tube. This can be done painlessly with a local anaesthetic.
