Watеrloggеd is also known by a fеw othеr namеs

Water retention is the word that is mostly used for the condition where someone feels waterlogged. The Bangalore Mirror states that the problem is also known as edema, where there is water leakage into the tissues from the blood vessels. The problem is mostly common among women.

Oedema can lead to various other diseases in the heart and liver, along with nutritional deficiencies and hypothyroidism. There are certain symptoms of the disease that include breathlessness on exertion, feeling lethargic or weak, passing less urine, and puffiness in the face.

The problem also happens in pregnant women or someone who is overweight, as per the NHS. It is also common in people who are on medications like blood pressure medicines, contraceptive pills, antidepressants, and steroids.

Water retention can be treated by getting habituated to some things. Salt intake should be reduced since the main component of salt is sodium, and it also releases a lot of water. Sugar consumption should also be under control because it increases the insulin level in the blood.

Regular exercise can help in draining the excessive fluid from the body. Fruits and vegetables should also be consumed daily.
