Hello! In the case of your wife, it is not clear whether there is swelling, redness, and pain in the joints. The joints always have a normal amount of fluid, popularly known as "lubricant" joints. If the amount of discharge is more than normal, it will cause joint swelling, or worse, joint effusion. When a patient has the above symptoms, they should go to the hospitals of Vinmec Health System for examination as soon as possible.
Thank you for sending your question to Vinmec Health System.
