Hi, Thanks for your query. There are numerous causes and conditions that produce swelling in the ankles. A few important causes are chronic venous insufficiency, Heart related issues, kidney disorders, liver problems, water retention etc. A thorough and detailed evaluation along with a few investigations are needed to establish the correct diagnosis. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
