Why do I get heavy legs during my period?
The human body is 65% water. This water is distributed in the blood and lymph and travels through the body before being eliminated by the kidneys. When the body stores more water than it eliminates, it stores the excess in different places. The cells become saturated and start to swell.
The circulation of this water is largely through the blood vessels. The oestrogens and aldosterone produced in the period before the menstrual cycle promote blood circulation disorders. Blood stagnates in the lower parts of the body and has difficulty returning to the heart. The vessels begin to dilate and become porous, and water passes from the blood to the cells in abnormal quantities. The cells then swell with water, causing the tissues to swell.
