in Blender, when you select an edge in edit mode, a small menu will appear at the top that says “select” in that box you can check the selection you want for an edge.. enter image description here

You also have the possibility to choose the type of selection you want by clicking on any edge or group of edges and press “f3” this will display a small menu where by typing ‘select’ you can select the type of selection you want. for your specific case, you can select the loop of edges you want, select from the select menu “cheker deselect” and modify the parameters to select only a group of edges. enter image description here
