What is another word for engorgements?
Pronunciation: [ɛnɡˈɔːd͡ʒmənts] (IPA) 
Engorgements refer to the act of filling with fluid, such as blood, causing the area to become swollen and uncomfortable. There are several synonyms for engorgements, such as congestion, swelling, enlargement, distension, and tumescence. Congestion is usually associated with nasal passages or traffic, but it can also be used to describe engorgements in any part of the body that impedes the normal flow of fluid. Swelling is a more general term for enlarged areas caused by a buildup of fluid, often accompanied by pain or discomfort. Enlargement and distension imply the area has become bigger than its normal size due to fluid buildup. Tumescence refers to swelling in a specific part of the body, such as the genitals.
