Reduce Fluid Retention

There are many different problems and conditions that can cause edema.

Lifestyle hormones, especially in women, drugs or the result of a serious medical condition are a few. Once you figure out what is causing your edema you can work with your body to reduce it.

Causes of Edema

There are many causes of edema and once the cause is figured out you can treat it accordingly. Some of the causes are:

Eating Too Much Salt - Sodium intake is closely related to water retention and edema. Over consumption of salt is one of the commonest reasons why people retain excess fluid.
Gravity - Prolonged periods of standing often causes fluid to settle in the tissues of the lower leg.
Hot Weather - During periods of high temperatures, the body is less efficient at removing fluid from its tissues.
Burns/Sunburn - When burn injuries occur, the skin reacts by retaining fluid and this causes localized swelling.
Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) Edema - Women have an increased risk of water retention, due to the rise and fall of hormone levels.
Contraceptive Medication Edema - The birth control pill or any oral contraceptives that include estrogen can lead to fluid retention in some women.
Edema During Pregnancy - Hormones released in pregnancy encourage the body to hold onto excess fluid. Pregnant women typically retain a significant amount of sodium and water.
Menopause - Water retention, causing bloating and edema can occur in menopausal women either during perimenopause or post menopause.
Dietary deficiency - Inadequate intake of vitamin B1 (thiamine) can cause fluid retention. Vitamins B6 and B5 also assist fluid dispersal. Low levels of protein (albumin) in the bloodstream may also cause edema.
Medication Side Effects - Water retention and edema may also be caused by drugs, such as high blood pressure medication and certain forms of steroid medications such as corticosteroids and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
Arthritis - Arthritic joints may swell with fluid, causing localized edema.

Treatments for Edema

Treatment will depend on the cause of the swelling. One of the first treatment options is to elevate the legs above the level of the heart. Anti-inflammatory medicine can also help reduce swelling.

A few easy treatments are:

Leg wedges to elevate the feet while sleeping
Support socks and stocking
Proper fitting shoes and socks

A few tips to Reduce Swelling include:

Cut back on salt
Drink plenty of water
Put your feet up
Use support stockings
Exercise regularly
Avoid standing in place for long period of time.
Avoid long periods of sitting
Certain drugs, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories and calcium channel blockers, can contribute to swelling.
