這些事會讓你喝水也增重大綱

Menstruation.

經期。

Many women retain water weight the week before their period due to fluctuating hormones. Fluid retention may reach its peak the first day of your actual period, before subsiding for that cycle.

經期前一週由於荷爾蒙波動，很多女性喝水也胖！經期第一天，液體滯留量或達到頂峯，後幾天會慢慢下降。

"With this type of fluid retention, the breasts can get really tender and some women get belly fullness," says Dr. Mack. You might also notice swelling in your face, legs and arms in the days leading up to your period.

"由於此類液體滯留，胸部會變得非常柔軟，有些人的腹部會漸漸隆起，"麥克醫生說道。你的臉頰、腿和手臂在經期到來前也有可能浮腫。

Pregnancy.

懷孕。

Pregnancy can cause you to gain water weight, especially as you get closer to your due date. You may see swelling in your hands, feet, or ankles. Hormones are partly to blame, but your growing baby also puts strain on your blood vessels.

懷孕會導致人們保留水的重量，越到預產期，體內滯留的水分就越多。你的手、腳或腳踝會變得浮腫。部分是由於荷爾蒙所致，但成長中的寶寶對血管造成了壓力，這也是原因所在。

"With pregnancy, you have a big belly so the [pressure causes] the fluid to go out into the tissues, and it has trouble getting back into the vessels," says Jennifer Wu, MD, an ob-gyn at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City.

"懷孕時，你的腹部隆起（壓力原因），液體會流入組織，但卻很難迴流到血管中，"珍妮弗·吳醫學博士說道，她也是紐約市倫諾克斯山醫院的婦產科醫師。

If your only symptom is swelling, it's probably normal (although the weight may not all come off the minute you deliver your baby). If you have sudden swelling that hurts, you may have developed a blood clot (especially if the problem is only in one leg) or a spike in blood pressure. Either way, if you have these symptoms, get to a doctor right away.

如果只觀察到浮腫的症狀，那可能是正常的（儘管生完寶寶後，你的體重可能不會一下子恢復到懷寶寶前）。如果腫脹到疼痛，那可能是由於您患了血栓（尤其是隻有一條腿發生這種情況時）或是血壓飆升所致。無論如何，如出現上述症狀，請立即就醫。

Hormonal birth control.

激素避孕。

Just like there's a connection between pregnancy and menstruation and water retention, hormonal birth control can also sometimes cause water weight.

正如懷孕和經期與水分滯留之間存在關係，激素避孕有時候也會導致水分滯留，增加體重。

Both the estrogen and progestin in birth control pills can be culprits, says Dr. Mack. Usually the water weight isn't major and doesn't last long, Dr. Wu adds, but you may want to talk to your ob-gyn about other birth control options.

避孕藥中的雌激素和孕激素都有可能是'罪魁禍首'，馬克醫生說道。通常，水的重量不是主要問題，也不會持續很長時間，吳博士補充道，但最好還是和婦產科醫生聊聊其它的避孕方法。

Cortisol.

皮質醇

Cortisol is best known as a "stress hormone," although it's actually much more than that. It's involved in keeping blood sugar levels stable, balancing metabolism, reducing inflammation, and even forming memories.

衆所周知，皮質醇被稱爲"壓力荷爾蒙，"儘管其實際作用遠不止於此。皮質醇可保持血糖水平穩定、平衡新陳代謝、減少炎症，甚至有助於形成記憶。

Water retention as a result of elevated cortisol levels isn't common, but it can happen.

皮質醇水平升高導致水分滯留的現象並不常見，但這種情況確有發生。
