A doctor has provided 1 answer
Water retention: There are many causes of soft tissue swelling; some serious, others perfectly normal. Hormone changes during the menstrual cycle, dietary salt intake, kidney function, heart function, and the function of veins and lymphatics all can be involved. To figure out the right management, first a doctor will want to take a detailed history to understand which causes need attention.
