The term “swelling” is used to describe an enlargement of a body part and can be used to describe edema and lymphedema. However, edema and lymphedema are clearly not the same and require different treatment approaches. Lymphedema affects 140-250 million women, men and children worldwide and results from the inability of the lymphatic system to perform one of its basic functions, the removal of water and protein from the tissues of a certain portion of the body. This insufficiency can be caused by developmental abnormalities of the lymphatic system (primary lymphedema) or damage to the lymphatic system such as the removal and/or radiation of lymph nodes in cancer surgery (secondary lymphedema).In It’s Not Just a Swelling! – LYMPHEDEMA Joachim Zuther provides an up-to-date and comprehensive guide for individuals affected by Lymphedema, their caregivers, and family members. 133 ImagesTopics include:Anatomy of the Lymphatic SystemCauses of Primary and Secondary Lymphedema and their StagesComplications of Lymphedema, such as Infections, Cellulitis, LeakageLymphedema Risk Reduction, Do’s and Don’ts for LymphedemaPrevention of LymphedemaLymphedema and its Impact on Quality of LifeTreatment and Management of LymphedemaSelf-Management of Lymphedema (Self-MLD, Skin Care, Compression Therapy, Exercises); includes Instructions for Self-Care with imagesNutritional AspectsTraveling with LymphedemaAnd Much More
