Let’s have a very real chat.
You wake up, your rings don’t fit, your ankles feel like they belong to someone else, and your jeans which definitely fit yesterday—now feel like they’ve declared war.
Sound familiar? You’re not imagining it.
Water retention during menopause is a very real, very annoying thing.
And like most menopause symptoms, it sneaks in without warning and overstays its welcome.
So what’s going on? And more importantly, how can we fix it naturally without living on lettuce leaves or cutting out salt entirely (because that’s no life)?
Let’s dive in.
Why Does Menopause Make You Puff Up Like a Balloon?
It all comes back to hormones (surprise, surprise).
As oestrogen and progesterone levels drop during perimenopause and menopause, your body starts to behave... differently. These hormones normally help regulate fluid balance, but when they dip, your body starts hanging on to water like it’s prepping for a drought.
You can thank:
-
Oestrogen fluctuations – messing with your kidneys’ ability to process salt and water properly
-
Progesterone dips – which usually acts as a natural diuretic
-
Slower digestion and circulation – another side effect of hormonal shifts
- Inflammation and stress – which further disrupt fluid balance and bloat
This hormonal chaos creates a perfect storm for water retention, causing discomfort and frustration. Many women experience an increase in bloating, puffiness, and weight fluctuations during this phase of life, which can feel especially daunting if you've always maintained a healthy weight.
What Does Water Retention During Menopause Feel Like?
It’s not just about a bit of puffiness. It can show up as:
- Swollen hands, feet, or ankles
- Puffy face (especially first thing in the morning)
- Tight, bloated belly
- A general feeling of heaviness or being “inflated”
- Clothes that suddenly stop fitting right
It’s uncomfortable, frustrating, and can make you feel out of control in your own body—which, let’s be honest, we’re already feeling enough of during menopause.
If you're noticing these symptoms regularly, it might be time to consider natural remedies that can help reduce bloating and regain a sense of normalcy. While some solutions involve drastic changes to diet or exercise, others offer a more balanced, gentle approach that complements your body’s needs.
