Several conditions can lead to sudden swelling in gynecology. Some of the common causes include:
Pregnancy: During pregnancy, the body undergoes numerous changes, including increased blood volume and pressure on veins, which can lead to swelling, particularly in the legs and ankles. Preeclampsia: This serious condition characterized by high blood pressure and protein in the urine can cause sudden swelling, particularly in the hands and face. Ovarian Cysts: Large or ruptured ovarian cysts can cause localized swelling and pain in the abdominal area. Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID): This infection of the female reproductive organs can cause swelling and tenderness in the pelvic region. Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): Blood clots in the deep veins, often in the legs, can lead to sudden and severe swelling.
