doesn\u2019t work well, your body accumulates fluid and may begin to swell.<\/p>\n<p>The swelling typically affects your arms and legs, but it can affect other areas of your body,

remove or damage your lymph nodes.<\/p>\n<p>You may develop lymphedema spontaneously, meaning it happens for no known reason.<\/p>\n<p>Symptoms:<\/p>\n<p>Lymphedema symptoms may be mild, causing minor swelling and discomfort.<\/p>\n<p>Severe cases of lymphedema can affect the ability to move the affected limb, increase the risks of skin infections and sepsis, and can lead to skin changes and breakdown.<\/p>\n<p>Treatment:<\/p>\n<p>Once lymphedema develops, it is a chronic condition that cannot be cured but can be treated to relieve swelling and improve your ability to function day to day.<\/p>\n<p>Treatment includes wearing compression garments, taking good care of your skin, moving and exercising regularly, having a healthy diet and lifestyle, and using specialised massage techniques.<\/p>\n<p>Hence both statements are correct.<\/p>\n<p>News: <strong><a
