Water retention can cause swelling in various areas of the body (also known as oedema), including: face, hands, legs, feet and ankles.
In most cases it’s a common occurrence that settles on its own, but in others, it may indicate an underlying medical condition.
Those who are affected by water retention may generally feel heavy, and less nimble than normal. Other symptoms include: feeling bloated around the stomach, stiffness in the joints, fluctuations in weight and puffiness of the stomach, face or hips.
