🧚♂️ Lymphedema is a chronic condition that causes swelling in the body's tissues due to a buildup of lymph fluid.
🧚♂️Causes:
1. Lymphatic System Damage:
Damage to the lymphatic system, such as from surgery, removal of lymph nodes, radiation therapy, or infection, can disrupt the flow of lymph fluid
2. Congenital malformations:
Some people are born with an abnormal lymphatic system, which can cause lymphedema
3. Obesity:
Excessive weight gain can put pressure on the lymphatic system and impair its function.
