Lymphedema

Your lymphatic system consists of vessels throughout your body that eliminate waste and toxins through a fluid called lymph. Lymphedema, or swelling of the lymph vessels, occurs when there is an excess of this fluid. It can be caused from a health condition, damaged vessels, or after lymph node removal surgery. The swelling from lymphedema often worsens as more fluids are attracted to the area and scar tissue, or fibrosis, is formed from chronic inflammation.
