Notable Things about Lymphedema
The serious
abnormal condition of the white blood cell fluid which cause the affected part
of the body to be bigger (swell) than normal is known as lymphatic disorder or
simply Lymphedema.
The lymphatic disease
can affect any part of the body just like the cancer disease. Usually, when a
part of the body has just been operated on and has been exposed to probably an
x-ray or where such patient has suffered and emotional distress due to the
surgery he/she just went through, there is a high probability of getting this
disorder of the lymphatic system. This is a type of secondary lymphatic
abnormal condition.
There is also a
primary lymphatic disease, which is passed to the children from their parents,
or grandparent who have already inherited it. According to lymphatic Education
and Research Group, there are very small percentage of families in the whole
world with this disorder.
We need to
understand that the lymph is a fluid and a very important part of the white
blood cells of the body. The white blood cell is majorly the lymphatic system
that provides immunity against internal infection to everybody. Where a
particular organ or even tissue of the body needs help to fight against
infection, it is this fluid that is transported to the part of the body to wage
war against the infection. Lymph is very
rich in protein but form nodes where the lymphatic system that carries this
fluid in the body has been ruptured. After this node, which is causing serious
discomfort to the body, has been taken out, there is likelihood of having this
lymphatic disorder.
It is very
surprising that many physicians who have even taken the lymphatic disease
education are still ignorant of the disease and will be wondering why their patients
have this abnormal disorder after treating them. The good thing is that
concerned medical groups are making endeavor to make both the doctors and the
populace knows about this serious disease.
