In a previous article, I described the origin as well as the causes and treatments for lymphedema. I also described the concept of lymphatic drainage (also called lymphatic hydrotherapy, or lymphatic massage) is a method of treatment to eliminate excess water from the tissues of the body. There are many other potential advantages, however the primary purpose of this article is to discuss the symptoms and causes of lymphedema. The goal is to help identify whether you could be an ideal candidate for lymphatic drainage therapy.













Lymphedema refers to an build-up of lymphatic liquid which results in decreased blood flow as well as a decrease in the number of lymphocytes. The method used isn't able to remove all the lymphatic fluid. This is why there are diverse results from research. There's a slight swelling of lymph nodes, however most of the fluid gets eliminated through the lymphatic vessels. The 2021 systematic review on lymphatic hydrotherapy with regard to breast cancer found no evidence that this treatment was helpful in the prevention of tumors as well as growth or survival. Patients who had only one tumor removed were contrasted with patients who had no tumor that was removed and had received lymphadhaematologic treatment. Comparison of patients' lymphatic status prior to and following treatment was made.













The lymphatic drain can be simple (also known as inspiravitations) or more complex techniques such as radiofrequency ablation or infraredcoagulation could be utilized to flush the body. (OTH) is a form of lymphatic drainage that is simple (SLE) that can be achieved by making frequent sittings in a bath of warm water, applying minute pressure on the region, or by adding warm olive oil into the water. Sweatband: Another simple SLE procedure is to breathe a deeply breath, and inhale swiftly when your head is submerged in the water. A OTH injection is usually the use of a catheter beneath the skin, either under the armpit, or directly in the lymph system. Sometimes, local anesthesia is not required for simple lymphatic drainage.













The manual lymphatic drainage technique is one of the most well-known modalities for treating those suffering from lymphoma or various other kinds of tumor growths. The lymphatic massage technique can be applied to other areas of the body , such as the neck, breasts, the abdomen, as well as the legs. However, lymphatic massage is believed to provide important clinical benefits for the treatment of patients with extensive cellulite. The lymphatic system is able to increase lymph flow, which results in the removal of lymph and extra fluids. The appearance of cellulite could be less noticeable due to increased lymph circulation.













When lymph nodes are affected by lymphedema, lymph fluid elimination reduces swelling. The result is a decrease in size and volume of affected vessels. It also helps to relieve the pain associated with lymphedema swelling, allowing patients to concentrate more in reducing discomforts caused by the condition.













The majority of lymphedema cases are caused by injuries to the lymphatic system. It can happen due to cancer treatment or surgery. The diagnosis of lymphedema usually made after a thorough physical exam, which includes testing for blood and an extensive list of symptoms. A comprehensive examination can reveal excessive lymph fluid accumulation within those lower extremities. Lymphedema is characterized by swelling that is caused by the accumulation of excessive fluid. The initial treatment for lymphedema involves increasing fluid intake as well as increasing circulation of blood to the lower legs. This may provide some relief for a short time, but and more aggressive measures are usually necessary in order to remove this condition from the body.













A special kind of massage therapy referred to as lymph massage is one method to treat lymphedema. A skilled massage therapist is in a position to know if a patient needs this type of treatment, and will perform it in any area which is affected by lymphatic drainage, such as the back or neck. This procedure is done using a soft, yet efficient manner, and can greatly ease the pain that sufferers who suffer from lymphedema.

Therapists who are trained in the methods used in delivering massage therapy, and will be able to assess if the technique will benefit your needs. Some therapists offer this treatment in conjunction with their treatment package. You can contact your local therapist for more about this possibility.
