What Is Lymphoedema?
Lymphoedema is a chronic condition caused by a build-up of lymphatic fluid, leading to swelling, most commonly in the arms or legs.
It may develop as a result of:
- Damage to the lymphatic system (e.g. surgery, cancer treatment)
- Genetic or developmental conditions
- Chronic venous insufficiency
- Obesity or reduced mobility
Common symptoms
- Persistent swelling in limbs
- Heaviness or tightness
- Reduced mobility
- Skin changes or thickening
- Increased risk of infection (cellulitis)
Early diagnosis and treatment are key to preventing progression.
Why Seek Lymphoedema Treatment?
Without appropriate management, lymphoedema can worsen over time and impact:
- Mobility and physical function
- Skin health and infection risk
- Comfort and daily activities
- Emotional wellbeing and confidence
A structured treatment plan can help reduce swelling, improve comfort and support long-term management.
