Can knee joint effusion be absorbed through jogging?

Knee effusion refers to the accumulation of fluid in the knee joint. In general, mild knee effusion can be absorbed through slow jogging. However, if discomfort occurs, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly. Specific analysis is as follows:

Knee effusion usually refers to fluid accumulating within the joint capsule of the knee. It may be associated with conditions such as osteoarthritis, external trauma, or gout. Small amounts of effusion can be absorbed through slow jogging; moderate jogging helps promote blood circulation around the knee joint, thereby reducing fluid buildup. However, exercise intensity must be carefully controlled—high-intensity activities should be avoided to prevent further damage to the knee joint. If the amount of fluid is substantial and accompanied by symptoms such as pain and swelling, slow jogging may not facilitate absorption. In such cases, joint cavity aspiration (fluid drainage via needle puncture) should be performed under a doctor's guidance, along with medications such as Sanqi tablets, methotrexate tablets, and chondroitin sulfate sodium tablets, which can aid in the absorption of the accumulated fluid.

During recovery, it is advisable to consume more high-protein and high-calcium foods, such as tofu, milk, and eggs, which can support the body’s healing process.
