SYMPTOMS OF LYMPHEDEMA:
PATIENT'S ASSESSMENT
During the first consultation, we evaluate the patient and find the cause of lymphedema. We note if there are any complications arising due to Lymphedema, such as skin infection, final infection, bleeding, skin hardening and so on.
The next step involves certain investigations if required, to understand the depth of the problem and sometimes to establish a diagnosis of lymphedema.
Then the treatment is started with medicines (if required) and treatment specifically to lymphedema like manual lymphatic drainage and special bandaging of the lymphedema limb. Options of surgery is also discussed in cases where lymphedema can be helped by surgery.
The surgical options range from Lymphatic venous shunt, Lymph node-venous shunt, Vascularized Lymph node transfer, liposuction and excisional procedures with skin grafting .
