The lymphatic system is responsible for maintaining fluid levels in the bodily tissues and removing fluids that leak from blood vessels. It is also a critical part of the immune system.

If lymph vessels become damaged or blocked, lymphedema can develop. Lymphedema is the accumulation of protein-rich fluids in the tissues. It causes swelling, heaviness, tight or thickened skin, and repeated skin infections.

Primary lymphedema is genetic. It happens when there are faults in the genes responsible for the development of the lymphatic system, meaning that it cannot drain fluid as it should. The main risk factor for primary lymphedema is having close family members with the condition.

Secondary lymphedema is the result of another condition that affects the lymphatic system. The risk factors include:Surgery for cancer: Sometimes, surgeons remove lymph nodes, which are part of the lymphatic system, to stop cancer from spreading. This increases the chance that lymph will not drain properly, resulting in lymphedema.

The treatment for cancers such as breast cancer, skin cancer, cervical cancer, and prostate cancer may involve surgery to remove lymph nodes.Radiation therapy: This cancer treatment uses radiation to destroy cancer cells. However, it can also damage healthy tissue, including the lymphatic system, leaving it unable to drain fluid.Tumors: Sometimes, the cancerous tumor itself blocks a lymphatic channel, leading to a buildup of fluid.Immobility: Movement helps with lymph drainage, as muscle activity promotes the movement of fluid along the lymphatic vessels.

Therefore, reduced movement can raise the risk of lymphedema. People who experience limited mobility for long periods — for instance, due to illness, nerve damage, or arthritis — may be at risk of developing lymphedema.Injury: Sometimes, extensive bruising and injury to the soft tissues can increase the risk of lymphedema.

People who have experienced burns, crush injuries, or other forms of trauma may be at risk.Excess body weight: People with obesity have an increased risk of developing swelling. The reason for this is unclear, but it could be due to extra tissue reducing the flow of fluid through the lymphatic channels.Venous diseases: Conditions affecting how blood flows through the veins can increase the risk of lymphedema. Unhealthy veins may allow fluid to overflow into the tissue spaces.

Eventually, this overwhelms the parts of the lymphatic system responsible for draining the fluid.Inflammation: Conditions that cause chronic inflammation, such as arthritis, can increase the risk of developing lymphedema. This is because inflammation can damage or destroy the lymph vessels.Infections: Cellulitis, a bacterial skin infection, can increase the risk of lymphedema.

Treatment for lymphedema Lymphedema progresses over time, so early diagnosis and treatment are critical. Whenever possible, doctors should refer the person with lymphedema to a specialist. The treatment for lymphedema may involve:Decongestive lymphedema therapy (DLT): DLT aims to move lymph around the body and reduce the formation of thickened or fibrous tissue, which can develop in people with lymphedema.

DLT is the main treatment for moderate to severe cases.Manual lymph drainage: This light massage moves lymph around the body and helps it drain, reducing swelling.Compression: Wearing stretch bandages or compression garments during the day and night helps reduce swelling. However, poor application can cause skin irritation and increase the risk of skin infections.Skin care: Carefully applying lotion to tight skin helps prevent cracking and infection.Exercise: Physical activity helps move lymph and reduce swelling by increasing protein absorption.Medications: These can ease pain and control secondary infections. Doctors may also suggest surgical options, including:Lymph node transplantation: In this procedure, a surgeon removes healthy lymph nodes from one area of the body and transplants them to the area with lymphedema.
