Lymphedema is a condition characterized by the accumulation of lymphatic fluid in the tissues, leading to swelling, most commonly in the arms or legs. It occurs when the lymphatic system is damaged or blocked, often due to surgery, radiation, infection, or congenital conditions. Symptoms include swelling, discomfort, and changes in skin texture. While there is no cure, treatment options such as compression garments, physical therapy, and lifestyle changes can help manage the condition.
