Lymphoedema

What is Lymphoedema?

Lymphedema is a condition that causes swelling due to a blockage or damage in the lymphatic system. It commonly affects the arms or legs but can occur in other parts of the body as well. The swelling happens when lymph fluid builds up in the tissues. Lymphoedema can develop after cancer treatment, surgery, radiation therapy, infection, or due to congenital problems in the lymphatic system.
