Menstruation is a normal and routine part of a woman's life.

Yet, a number of things can occur that can cause a woman

pain at that time. One such thing is the retention of water

that makes women feel bloated.

Premenstrual water retention is a phenomenon that

accompanies menstruation for many women. Retained water can

cause the breasts to enlarge in an uncomfortable way. The

excess fluid is lost during menstruation and this can lead

to several after post-menstrual effects, depending upon body

composition.

According to B. Young, Ph.D., Professor of Physiology

and Biophysics at the University of Mississippi in ,

it's not known as to why women experience premenstrual fluid

retention although there are a few theories. Dr. Young says,

" It's a huge question, and certainly hormonal changes are

involved, but nobody has a clue as to exactly how to explain

it. " (www.mothernature.com)

Despite this problem's mysterious origins, there are an

abundance of cures. Mother Nature is the largest source of

such cures.

" Many herbs act as diuretics-that is, they help your kidneys

remove water from your body, " says DiPalma, N.D., a

naturopathic doctor and director of natural medicine at the

Village at Newtown Medical Center in Pennsylvania.

Drinking two to four cups of dandelion leaf tea a day is a

good remedy for temporary bloating. If you don't like tea,

you can also try one or two capsules of dried dandelion

leaf, according to Dr. DiPalma.

Lack of potassium can raise a person's blood pressure and

potential for fluid retention. Consuming potassium-rich

foods such as fruits and vegetables will help minimize

bloating.

Another problem that goes hand in with water retention is

the gain and loss of weight during and around menstruation.

People who retain body fluids know how easily weight can

increase.

" Weight fluctuations of as much as four to five pounds in a

single day are not uncommon in women with fluid retention

problems, " says Marilynn Pratt, M.D., a physician

specializing in women's health. (www.meltmagazine.com)

According to Dr. Pratt drinking at least eight glasses of

water a day is another way to safeguard against water

retention. This ensures a proper balance of minerals in your

body and removes excess salt that may cause water retention

from the body.

Carbonated and alcoholic drinks may also trigger bloating.

So try to limit your consumption of them. You also want to

try to avoid gas-producing foods like fried and fatty foods,

eggs, sugar and sugar substitutes, wheat, and many

pre-packaged foods.

Women suffering from water retention can also use

Hydrozyneâ„¢. It is a product that helps ease bloating,

swelling, and weight gain before and after menstruation.

Hydrozyneâ„¢ is available at Amazon and at

http://www.BODeStore.com.
