    Glossary Water Retention

    Water retention, also known as edema, refers to the accumulation of excess fluid in the body's tissues, which can lead to swelling. In the context of hair loss, water retention can affect the scalp's health and the hair growth cycle by potentially disrupting blood circulation and nutrient delivery to hair follicles. It may also be influenced by hormonal changes, dietary factors, or certain medications, making it a relevant consideration for individuals experiencing hair thinning or loss. Key distinguishing characteristics include visible swelling in areas such as the scalp, face, or extremities, and it may vary in severity based on underlying health conditions.
