Swelling of palms during ovulation

First, let’s understand what ovulation is. Ovulation refers to the time when a woman's eggs are released from the ovaries into the fallopian tubes, usually between days 14 and 16 of the menstrual cycle. During this period, a woman's body temperature rises and her blood levels of estrogen and progesterone increase. These changes can help women get pregnant, but they can also affect some people.

So, why do swollen palms occur during ovulation? This is because during this period, the hormone levels in women's bodies change, leading to changes in the blood vessels in the skin. As blood flows from the heart to the palms, the skin of the palms becomes softer and moister, causing a swollen feeling in the palms. This swelling usually doesn't last long and usually goes away within a few days.

Although swollen palms are a common phenomenon during ovulation, it doesn't necessarily mean there's something wrong. If swollen palms are accompanied by other symptoms, such as pain, heat, itching, etc., you may need to seek medical attention. In addition, if the cause of swollen palms is allergies or other diseases, then treatment is also required.
