Lymphedema Management
Understanding Lymphedema
Lymphedema is a condition that occurs when lymphatic fluid builds up, causing swelling—most commonly in the arms or legs. It may develop as a result of cancer treatment, surgery, radiation, or injury to the lymphatic system. While lymphedema is often a long-term condition, effective management can significantly reduce swelling, improve mobility, and enhance overall quality of life.
