I thik you are refering to EDEMA friend.
Edema (American English), oedema or œdema (British English), formerly known as dropsy or hydropsy, is the increase of interstitial fluid in any organ. Generally, the amount of interstitial fluid is in the balance of homeostasis. Increased secretion of fluid into the interstitium or impaired removal of this fluid may cause edema.

Do you mean "edema," maybe? Edema is swelling in the tissues of the body.

Respectfully, you misunderstood the doctor. Edema is a condition that is characterized by swelling, and it's NOT contagious.
