Minor fluid accumulation in the knee requires avoiding excessive strain on the knee area. In particular, prolonged standing, repeated squatting, sitting, and running exercises should be avoided, as well as colds, to prevent increased fluid leakage in the knee. Knee joint effusion, also known as synovitis of the knee joint, may occur after long-term heavy labor or sprains. Increased pressure on the knee can lead to knee arthritis, and joint swelling can result in fluid accumulation within the knee joint.
