As we mentioned in previous article, Premenstrual syndrome effects over 70% to 90% of women before menopause in the US and less for women in Southeast Asia because of their difference in living style and social structure. The occurrence of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) have more than doubled over the past 50 years due to the acceptance of it as a medical condition that is caused by unhealthy diet with high in saturated food. Premenstrual syndrome is defined as faulty function of the ovaries related to the women's menstrual cycle, it effects a women's physical and emotional state, and sometimes interferes with daily activities as a result of hormone fluctuation. The syndrome occurs one to two weeks before menstruation and then declines when the period starts. In this article, we will discuss what causes PMS hyperhydration.
1. Lymphatic malfunction Lymphatic system is important for returning excess interstitial fluid to the blood. Some women with PMS with water retention symptom, it may be caused by lymphatic malfunction leading to over returning of interstitial fluid surrounds the tissue cells resulting in water retention in the body tissues.
2. Over production of prolactin Prolactin is vital for milk production for feeding mother, over production of prolactin by pituitary gland during menstrual cycle as resulting of hormone imbalance causing breast tenderness for some women with PMS.
3. Digestive system For what ever reason, women with PMS are found to have digestive disorder. It may be caused by lacking stomach acid in the digestive system resulting in reducing the absorption of certain nutrient which are necessary to maintain right levels of fluid in the body tissues.
4. Potassium deficiency Potassium is vital for sodium regulation. Without enough levels of potassium, it causes high levels of sodium accumulated in the body resulting in increasing the risk of fluids retention.
5. Serotonin Serotonin besides plays an important role in neurotransmitter, it also helps to calm the nervous tension with right levels, but over production of serotonin causes nervous tension and water retention.
6. Prostaglandins hormone Beside helps to regulate the uterus muscle, over production of prostaglandins hormones increase the risk of pre menstrual cramps and water retention.
