🧠 How to Know If You Have Water Retention

The most noticeable symptom is swelling, especially in the legs, often accompanied by:

  • Skin discoloration

  • A lingering indentation when pressed

  • Joint stiffness

  • Pain or heaviness

  • Headaches

  • Bloating

  • Fluctuations in weight

  • Loss of appetite

Note: Water retention is often confused with cellulite, but the two are not the same.
