Summary:
Lymphoedema, regardless of etiology, is essentially incurable
but different therapy aproaches exist which serve to contain swelling.
Any oedema arises from dysbalance between capillary filtration
and lymph drainage. The principle of physical therapy is to improve
drainage of interstitial fluid and macromolecules from congested
regions to normally draining lymph node sites.
The complex physical therapy, i.e. manual lymphatic drainage,
pneumatic compression therapy, multilayer bandaging and exercise,
is the most important in lymphoedema treatment nowadays. Drug therapy,
skin care and prevention of the infection are also necessary in
the therapy.
Surgery is indicated at genital lymphoedema. Microsurgery
for certain forms of lymphoedema continues to be evaluated. |
