Swelling in the Legs
Ovarian cysts may cause swelling in the legs. Swelling may be caused by fluid buildup, or it may be caused by fluid leaking from the cyst. In addition, blood clots can develop and move through the body’s circulatory system, leading to swelling of the lower limbs.
Women with ovarian cysts might experience leg swelling as a condition symptom. It is common for women to experience bloating, gas, and constipation throughout the duration of their menstrual cycles, but sometimes these symptoms can be delayed or can take on a different form. In this case, women are likely experiencing the delayed onset of bloating and constipation caused by ovarian cysts.
This painless symptom is more prevalent in premenopausal women than postmenopausal women because premenopausal women still have natural hormones, which can cause bleeding and pain in the abdomen.
