Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Edema In The Legs While Having Bulky Uterus?
I am 39yrs old female. When i went for health chechup they have reported me that I have bulky uterus due to fibroid. And i am having pitting oedema in my leg. And i have tags over and under my eyes. skin doctor told me consult a cardiac specialist. is there anything serious.
As per your query about swelling in legs which is pitting type can be due to many causes like an underlying chronic disease like cardiac disorder or it can be nephrotic syndrome which is kidney related or cirrhosis of liver.
If you are taking any medication like BP medications it can be a side effect of that also. I suggest you to consult a cardiologist first to rule out any major cardiac abnormality by performing investigation like ECG, and MRI and blood investigations for kidney and liver disorder.
Also consulting the gynecologist for fibroid treatment, like surgical removal of fibroid will be possible only after your other vital organs functions well.Skin tags over eyes should be lastly treated by consulting your dermatologist. I would also suggest to reduce salt intake in your food as it can also cause fluid retention and edema. Exercises for reducing can be performed only after consulting a cardiologist.
I hope this information helps you. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care.
Regards, Dr. Jyoti Pandey
