New concept in treatment of lymphedema.
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 12
Abstract
Lymphedema is a health problem that affects millions of people around worldwide. There are, however, a number of barriers that obstruct development in both the prevention and treatment of this disease. One of these barriers is the current concept that splits the management of lymphedema in two phases: treatment (Phase I) and maintenance (Phase 2). The evolution of treatment requires new concepts that address the treatment of lymphedema as a whole. One of these new concepts, reported by Godoy, states that Phase I (treatment) ends when a total or near total reduction in edema is achieved. Phase II (maintenance) aims to keep the losses and keep the limb within the normal or near normal size.
