Lymphoedema is a chronic condition that causes swelling due to the accumulation of protein-rich fluid in the body's soft tissues. This generally occurs when the lymphatic system, a vital part of our immune system, fails to work efficiently. The aetiology of lymphoedema can be traced back to two types: Primary lymphoedema, which is caused by genetic abnormalities and Secondary lymphoedema, triggered by damage or blockage in the lymphatic system.
In Bangalore, residents also seek medical assistance for conditions like lymphoedema. The best doctors for lymphoedema treatment are available at Apollo Hospitals, serving Bangalore's dynamic population efficiently. These top notch professionals have a proven track record in treating both primary and secondary lymphoedema, offering the best care for those experiencing this chronic condition.
Types/Stages of Lymphoedema
Lymphoedema manifests primarily in two types:
-
Primary Lymphoedema: This genetic disorder affects the lymphatic system from birth or develops soon after puberty. It's relatively rare, affecting one in 6,000 people.
-
Secondary Lymphoedema: More common than its primary counterpart, this type occurs when factors like surgery, radiation therapy or infections damage or obstruct the lymphatic system.
Symptoms of Lymphoedema
Recognising the symptoms of Lymphoedema early on can help manage the condition effectively. These symptoms include:
-
Persistent swelling in an arm or leg
-
A feeling of heaviness or tightness in the affected area
-
Aching and discomfort
-
Restricted movement
-
Recurring skin infections
-
Hardening and thickening of the skin (fibrosis)
Tests to Diagnose Lymphoedema
At Apollo Hospitals, our best lymphoedema doctors use a variety of tests to diagnose Lymphoedema accurately:
-
Medical History: Detailed understanding of the patient's medical background.
-
Physical Examination: A thorough check-up of the swollen area.
-
MRI Scans: Imaging test used to check for blockages in the lymphatic system.
-
CT Scans: Advanced imaging technique providing detailed images of the lymphatic vessels.
-
Doppler Ultrasound: Non-invasive test to assess the blood flow and detect blockages.
-
Lymphoscintigraphy: A special type of imaging test that provides pictures of the lymphatic system.

At Apollo Hospitals in Bangalore, our lymphoedema treatment doctors offer personalised treatment plans to manage Lymphoedema effectively:
-
Compression Therapy: Use of compression bandages or stockings to reduce swelling by improving fluid movement.
-

-
Exercise: Prescribed by therapists, these exercises help improve lymph drainage.
-
Skin Care: Ensuring good skin hygiene to prevent infections.
