Lymphedema

occurs because the

lymphatic system

is being compromised. While most commonly

related to lymph node removal, the exact

cause is unknown. Women with lumpectomy

are more likely to suffer from lymphedema

compared to simple mastectomy.

LYMPHEDEMA

by Angela Page, PT

Lymphedema is

chronic swelling in the

arm as a result of

mastectomy or lumpectomy. Lymphedema is

the stagnation of protein-rich fluid resulting

from lymph node removal. Typically, the

lymph nodes are not available to remove

swelling from the arm into the lymph system.

These proteins attract water into our body,

which results in increased edema that can be

difficult to control.

What is it?

It is important

to avoid

trauma to the

involved extremity, such as cuts, insect bites,

and medical procedures. Monitor any

changes in arm size after exercise. Decrease

exercise if edema consistently increases after

exercise. The extremity should be elevated

above the heart as much as possible.

Because the

exact cause is

unknown, it is

difficult to prevent. After mastectomy or

lumpectomy, monitor any changes in arm size

and consult your physician.

250,000 persons

suffer from

lymphedema. Any

person undergoing axillary lymph node

dissection is at risk for lymphedema. There

are no specific risk factors associated with

developing the condition. However, 12-35%

of women have lymphedema after these

procedures.
