Hi!
As a nurse, I can happily describe fluid retention for you:
When your body does not get rid of enough liquid (water). This can cause swollen or puffy ankles, face or hands or shortness of breath.
Some causes of fluid retention are eating too much salt, drinking too many liquids, kidney problems or heart problems.
I hope this helps! |
