What is Lymphedema?
Lymphedema is swelling that occurs once the lymphatic system is damaged, causing excess fluid to accumulate in the body’s tissues. Lymphedema is considered a long-term condition that currently has no cure. If left untreated, lymphedema can lead to lymphangitis.
Lymphangitis is an inflammation of the lymphatic system, a significant component of your immune system. Lymphangitis spreads quickly and often leads to skin infections, cellulitis, and in some extreme cases, sepsis, a life-threatening illness caused by your body’s response to an infection.
The lymphatic system plays a significant role in cleansing and nourishing the cells throughout the body, and a poorly functioning lymphatic system can affect every part of your body.
