What Is Lymphedema?
Lymphedema is a chronic condition caused by a disruption in the lymphatic system that allows fluid to build up in the body's tissues. It most commonly affects the arms and legs, but it can also occur in other areas of the body.
Without treatment, swelling may gradually worsen over time and increase the risk of skin changes, infection, decreased mobility, and delayed wound healing.
Fortunately, effective treatment can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
Could You Have Lymphedema?
Many people live with symptoms for months—or even years—before receiving a diagnosis.
Common symptoms include:
✓ Persistent swelling
✓ Tight or heavy feeling in an arm or leg
✓ Shoes or rings no longer fitting comfortably
✓ Skin becoming firm or thick
✓ Recurrent skin infections
✓ Decreased flexibility
✓ Aching or discomfort
✓ Swelling that doesn't completely improve overnight
If these symptoms sound familiar, an evaluation may help identify the cause.
