What is Lymphedema?
Lymphedema is a chronic condition that is typically caused by a buildup of lymphatic fluid in the tissues, leading to persistent swelling, usually in the arms or legs. It can result from surgery, radiation, infections, or trauma affecting the lymphatic system. At Dr Ashok, we focus on treating both the symptoms and the root causes of lymphedema, using cutting-edge techniques to ensure long-term relief.
