Lymphedema Treatment

Lymphedema is the swelling of a body part, usually an extremity, although it can occur in the face, neck, and abdomen. It is caused by the abnormal accumulation of lymph fluid. The affected area becomes swollen and enlarged causing a feeling of heaviness, cosmetic deformity, discomfort, repeated episodes and infections and may result in cosmetic deformity.

Treatment should be started as soon as lymphedema is diagnosed. A doctor’s prescription is necessary. The Southampton Hospital Rehabilitation Department offers specialized care and treatment for lymphedema, which includes instructing patients on how to avoid lymphedema where possible, and, if prevention is not possible, to provide a safe and effective treatment plan.
