A member asked:
Why is my water retention worse after drinking water?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Naturally: Because there is more water available to be retained. Also remember that salt intake causes fluid retention. In a normal, healthy person 1 to 2 quarts of fluid a day is enough. Sometimes having too much water can also cause water intoxication. Be careful.
