If generalized swelling occurs before menstruation, it is mainly caused by endocrine disorders. The most important thing is that estrogen secretion is too high and progesterone secretion is low, causing water and sodium retention and weight gain. In this case, when the estrogen and progesterone in the body drop to a relatively low state during menstruation, the symptoms of water and sodium retention will naturally be reduced, so that the swelling of the whole body after menstruation will often be relieved. In this case, it is also recommended clinically that it is best to get enough sleep and ensure a good state of mind. It is especially important to keep warm during the menstrual period. If the generalized swelling still occurs after menstruation, it is recommended to go to the hospital for appropriate examination to exclude hypoproteinemia and other organic pathologies.
