What Is Lymphedema?

Lymphedema is a condition marked by swelling due to impaired lymphatic drainage, often resulting from surgery, infection, or lymph node damage. When lymph fluid accumulates in tissues—most commonly in the arms or legs—it can lead to discomfort, inflammation, and increased risk of infection.
