About

Lymphedema is a result of too much fluid accumulation in an area of the body. Most of the time, it is a result of damage to the lymphatic system that can happen with surgery, injury, radiation and chemotherapy treatment, obesity, and venous insufficiency. Sometimes, a person may be born with an undeveloped or underdeveloped lymphatic system. Lymphedema can affect any area of the body.
