Article summary

What does it mean to have heavy legs?

Feeling tired, difficulty walking, heaviness in the legs, swelling and even tightness in the calf and ankle: these symptoms are largely representative of heavy legs syndrome.

Accentuated by heat, prolonged standing and trampling, at the end of the day this unpleasant pressure on the lower legs can become very uncomfortable. This phenomenon occurs mainly in the period leading up to menstrual cycle or during menstruation.

Why do my legs feel heavy during my period?

The human body is made up of 65% of water. This water is distributed in the blood and lymph and travels through the body before being evacuated by the kidneys. When the body stores more water than it eliminates, it stores the excess in different places. Cells then become saturated and start to swell.

Most of this water circulates through the blood vessels. The estrogen and aldosterone produced in the run-up to the menstrual cycle contribute to blood circulation disorders. Blood stagnates in the lower parts of the body and returns with difficulty to the heart. Vessels begin to dilate and become porous, with water passing from the blood to the cells in abnormal quantities. Waterlogged cells cause tissues to swell.

What are the other symptoms of premenstrual syndrome?

Among the many premenstrual syndrome symptomsthe main and most common are as follows:

  • Irritability, anxiety or feelings of depression
  • Sleep disorders, fatigue
  • Headaches
  • Abdominal pain
