Question 1

my wife has severe water retention problem. she has hypothiroid in controlled level with 50mcg of eltroxin. kindly suggest remedy please. thank you.

Accepted Answer

Not thyroid related: If her thyroid level is normal, it is unlikely that her symptoms are thyroid related.  What does she mean by "water retention".  I have a lot of patients who say they are "swollen with water", but actually are just obese.  If she truly has edema, it needs to be evaluated.

Question 2

how can you reduce water retention with home remedies?

Accepted Answer

Salt? diagnosis?: First avoid added salt, which our caveman kidneys were not designed to handle. Next, if you have new leg swelling, you might have an undiagnosed condition ranging from simple varicose veins to a more complex heart, liver or kidney problem. Better to get evaluated and diagnosed correctly so you will know what to do.
