Understanding Lymphedema Treatment

Lymphedema is the accumulation of protein rich fluid in your body leading to swelling, heaviness, and pain in the affected area. Lymphedema can be hereditary (primary lymphedema) or can develop following trauma or removal of lymphatic vessels such as after surgery or cancer treatment (secondary lymphedema). Specialized treatment called Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT) significantly reduces symptoms and teaches you how to independently manage your condition.
