I know that I am going to get them eventually but I want to avoid them as long as possible. I already get some water retention in my legs despite being only in my early twenties. I have a lot of risk factors-tall, frequently fly long haul or drive long distances. I've had two pregnancies (thankfully I've recovered reasonably well from them) and a family history-ever single woman in my family has at some point developed them and they have all suffered from water retention, many at a rather young age. What can I do beyond not getting pregnant again (have already resolved not to have any more biological children).
