Understanding Lymphedema: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment Options

Lymphedema is the buildup of fluid in different parts of your body due to issues with your lymphatic system. This system is responsible for gathering extra fluid, proteins, and waste products from your cells and tissues, and then sending them back into your blood. Lymphedema affects one-third of breast cancer patients, worsening over time. Prompt treatment is crucial, as failure can lead to infections, harm to the lymphatic system, and Sepsis.

The Lymphedema therapy at Prameya Health stands out as a comprehensive, integrated approach that combines the expertise of cancer specialists, yoga therapists, and physiotherapists to assist in the prevention and management of lymphedema. This program offers a range of supportive care services across the Functional, Emotional, Nutritional, and Spiritual or FENS Dimensions of Care. Known as the ‘Sahai Programs,’ they encompass various aspects of care such as Arm Lymphedema Care for Breast Cancer Patients, Cancer Nutrition, Yoga Therapy for Cancer Patients, Psycho-oncology Counselling, Dance Therapy, and Art Therapy. Additionally, the program features a prestigious 3-month program titled “Back on Track.”

The most frequent sign is edema. Additional signs of lymphedema include:

– You are unable to see or feel the veins or tendons in your hands and feet.
– Your arms or legs seem to have different sizes.
– It feels as though your joints are unusually stiff or rigid.
– Your skin looks puffy or red.
– Swelling in your arms or legs, or different areas of your body.
– Your arms, legs, or other body parts feel unusually heavy or swollen.
– Your clothes or jewelry feel tighter than normal.
– You experience a sensation of burning or itching.
– Your skin becomes noticeably thicker.

The method of managing lymphedema varies depending on the root reason and the intensity of the disease. Treatment options can range from physical therapy to additional therapies aimed at maintaining lymphatic fluid circulation, thereby alleviating swelling and discomfort. Your treating doctor might also suggest antibiotics for infections or pain relievers.

If non-surgical methods don’t alleviate symptoms, your doctor may suggest surgical intervention, especially for lymphedema patients, and it’s crucial to discuss this option with your doctor. Visit Prameya Health, where consultations and treatments are led by senior doctors, and enroll for the FENS Prana Sakhi, a comprehensive approach that includes Allopathy, Ayurveda, Naturopathy, Yoga, and Acupressure, to experience the difference.
