About Lymphedema

Lymphedema is the collection of fluids in a part of the body that can cause swelling pressure and pain. Lymphedema refers to swelling that generally occurs in ones arms or legs - sometimes both arms or both legs will swell. Lymphedema is a progressive condition that occurs when the lymphatic transport system falls below the capacity needed to handle the fluids that normally leak from the blood vessels into the lymph system. While there is presently no cure for Lymphedema, it can be managed with early diagnosis and diligent care of affected limbs. To help alleviate swelling and reduce discomfort, physicians and therapists develop care plans for complete decongestive Lymphedema therapy that includes compression therapy.
