Lymphoedema is a chronic condition where the lymphatic system fails to drain fluid properly, leading to swelling in the affected areas. It can occur in any part of the body, but it usually affects the limbs, especially the legs or arms. In medical terminology, lymphoedema is often referred to as lymphatic oedema or simply oedema. Other synonyms for lymphoedema include lymphedema, lymphatic insufficiency, lymphatic obstruction, and lymphostatic oedema. Regardless of the terminology used, treatment options for lymphoedema typically include compression garments, massage, exercise, and in some cases, surgical intervention.
