Lymphedema

What Is Lymphedema?

Lymphedema is a tissue swelling-typically in the arms or legs - that occurs as a result of the lymphatic system being unable to remove fluid from the tissue. The condition is sometimes a side effect of cancer treatments and may occur months or even years later.


Vascular impairments can also cause the development of lymphedema.


If you’re experiencing swelling it’s important to seek treatment early. Unresolved lymphedema can cause restricted mobility and cause changes in the skin that can lead to infection or permanent hardening of tissue.

“Varicose veins are most often seen in the legs due to poor circulation and the effects of walking or standing; however, varicosities can occur in any vein throughout the body.”
