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.

Primary Care vs Vein Specialist
Primary care physician possesses a broad knowledge base that covers a range of ailments and diseases. While they can diagnose vein disease correctly, they may not have the same level of expertise in this specific area.
Therefore, if you suspect that you may be suffering from vein disease, it is often more prudent to seek the guidance of a vein treatment specialist directly. By doing so, you increase the chances of receiving an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment without the risk of being misdiagnosed or experiencing delayed care. Ultimately, a vein treatment specialist's specialized focus and expertise make them the ideal choice for addressing vein diseases comprehensively and effectively.
