Fluid Retention - a symptom of pre-menstrual-syndrome

FLUID RETENTION - The extra water in the tissues can cause the ankles and the fingers to swell so that shoes have to be discarded and the wedding ring removed. There may be swelling of the gums so that dentures no longer fit. The skin coarsens and becomes blotchy, contact lenses won't fit and hair becomes lank.

The exact place where the water accumulates varies in different women and at different times in their lives. The most severe symptoms result from water accumulating in the labyrinth of the inner ear and causes dizziness, when it enters the eyeball causing a raised pressure inside the unyielding bony skull causing headaches.

The sinuses are air spaces within the bones of the face where air enters through a small entrance which is lined with cells of the mucus membrane; when these are engorged and swollen the entrance to the sinus is blocked causing stale air to accumulate in the sinus resulting in sinus headaches or "vacuum headaches".

Water can also accumulate in the discs between the vertebrae of the spine, causing back ache. Sometimes there is a widespread distribution of the extra water which produces vague symptoms in the muscles, joints and soft-tissues, causing generalized rheumatic pains, abdominal bloating and heaviness.

The water is always in the cells or in the fluid between the cells. When the extra water accumulates in the fat and subcutaneous tissues there can be an appreciable gain in weight without any other complaints.
