Hi,
Thanks for the query.
I understand your concern.
Water retention in premenstrual time is due to effect of hormones Progesterone, prolactin & estrogen .. & the symptoms disappear after menses.
In pre menopausal age, retention may vary in degree due to fluctuating levels of hormones.It will continue up to the menopause .
* Home management is by increasing physical activity in daily routine/ drop amount of salt in diet/ eat healthy diet with plenty of fruits, salads, vegetables, nuts & whole grams.
* In case home management is not sufficient .. you should consult a gynecologist .. he may think of offering you following treatment as per your needs.
- Calcium/ magnesium /Vitamin B co9mplex or vitamin E.
- Diuretics to remove excess water retention from body,

Thanks.
