Leg Lymphedema Treatment Options Reduce Pain And Swelling
While the diagnosis of lymphedema may seem like the end of the world, this is actually a condition that can be managed. When a person has lymphedema, or lymphatic obstruction as it is also known, there is swelling of the tissues and fluid retention in localized areas due to a compromised lymphatic system. The fluid retention is due in part to the interstitial fluids in the thoracic duct no longer being properly returned to the blood stream and this causes an increase in the risk for infection.
When the problem is localized in the legs, it will be important to have a leg lymphedema treatment you can use to help control the pain and swelling.
