  1. What is the treatment for lymphoedema?

  2. What is lymphoedema Lymphoedema is a condition whose recommended treatment is decongestive lymphatic therapy (DLT). While this treatment option doesn’t provide a cure for the condition, it will help to reduce the symptoms. While this requires time and effort, this treatment option is an effective way of controlling lymphoedema.

Helps to ensure that your skin remains in good condition and minimises the chances of infection • Exercises. The goal of exercises is to use the muscles in affected limb and thus improve the lymph drainage • Specialized massage technique.

  6. Compression Garments or Bandage The lymphatic system doesn’t have a central pump like the heart that can help in the movement of fluids. Instead, it uses a massaging effect in the surrounding muscles to help in movement of fluids. Special garments or bandages such as gloves, tights, stockings or sleeves are used to treat patients suffering from lymphoedema. The goal of these damages is to support the muscle affected when exercising and ensure that they are able to move the fluids out of the limb that is affected.
