What is Lymphoedema
Lymphoedema is a swelling in the body’s tissue, most commonly seen in an affected persons arms and legs. Lymphoedema can have many different causes, but most commonly it will develop in an area where there has been damage to the lymphatic system. This can include cases such as after certain types of surgery, chemotherapy or radiation therapy amongst others. Early detection and the correct treatment are very important to limit the severity of the symptoms associated with Lymphedema.
When the body’s lymphatic system can no longer transport the amount of lymph fluid in our body effectively, we see this swelling occur as a result of the condition. Swelling in the arms, legs, neck, face, neck or other areas, or changes in skin can occur, as well as lymph fluid potentially leaking through the skin walls. This is a complex condition which is often chronic and can worsen over time if not managed with the correct therapy. Lymphedema can also lead to other serious health conditions.
