Lymphedema is a disease characterized by the accumulation of lymphatic fluid around the body. It causes swelling in different body parts, making the tissue and skin to change.

It is divided into two categories: (1) primary lymphedema, which is genetic, and (2) secondary lymphedema, which can be resulted from injury, insult, or blockade to the lymphatic system.

Generally, the symptoms of lymphedema include extreme edema, scaly and thick skin with bumps and blisters, and fluid leaks.

Lymphedema is a developing disease and occurs in four stages: latency, spontaneous, spontaneously irreversible, lymphatic elephantiasis.

The diagnosis and treatment of lymphedema is an intricate process. And patients should first seek the advice of a primary healthcare provider to assess the perfect steps in treating lymphedema.
