A member asked:

Can you tell me how i can reduce water retention?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Water retention: You need to see your doctor and be evaluated for cause. It may be something minor that you can easily take care of or could be something more involved. Cutting down on salt intake is the main easy thing you can do.
