Lymphedema Patient Assessment
During the first consultation, we take a detailed medical history to evaluate the patient and find the cause of lymphedema. We also note if there are any complications arising due to Lymphedema, such as skin infection leading to cellulitis, skin hardening, skin ulcers 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. Depending on the staging of the disease, the treatment is started with medical options – medicines (if required) and non- Surgical or conservative home management treatments specific to lymphedema like manual lymphatic drainage, lymphatic pumps and special bandaging of the lymphedema limb. Options of surgery are also discussed in cases where lymphedema can be helped by surgery and make a huge difference to the quality of the patient’s life.
