Several factors can lead to swelling in the gynecological context:
Infections: Bacterial, viral, or fungal infections can cause swelling. For example, vaginitis and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) often result in swelling. Cysts: Ovarian cysts can cause significant swelling and discomfort. Hormonal changes: Conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can lead to swelling due to hormonal imbalances. Fibroids: These benign tumors of the uterus can cause considerable swelling and pain. Cancer: Malignant growths in the reproductive organs can also cause swelling.
