What does the lymphatic system do?
The lymphatic system is a network of organs, vessels, and tissues. It is a vital part of our immune system. This system includes a vast network of lymph vessels that transport and drain lymph fluid, and lymph nodes that filter bacteria, viruses, and other particles that can pose health risks. The main functions of our lymphatic system are to maintain fluid balance, fight infection by removing viruses and bacteria, and move proteins and digested fats.
Who develops lymphedema and why?
Primary lymphedema occurs when a person is born with a faulty lymphatic system. It may be present at birth, or develop later in life.
Secondary lymphedema occurs when the lymphatic system becomes damaged from causes such as surgery, radiation therapy, venous insufficiencies, longstanding obesity, injury or trauma.
People who undergo cancer treatment that includes the removal of or damage to the lymph nodes or vessels are at a lifelong risk of developing secondary lymphedema.
Can Lymphedema be treated?
The best treatment to control lymphedema is Combined Decongestive Therapy from a trained and certified lymphedema therapist. CDT includes manual lymph draining, compression bandaging, exercises to promote lymphatic flow, and education about recommended skin care to reduce the risk of infection.
