Lymphedema
Your child鈥檚 lymphatic system keeps the body鈥檚 fluid levels in balance and defends against infection. It does this by sending a clear fluid called 鈥渓ymph鈥 throughout the body. When something is wrong with the lymphatic system, lymph can build up in tissues and cause swelling in the arms, legs, hands and feet. This condition is called 鈥渓ymphedema.鈥
If left untreated, lymphedema in children can lead to chronic wounds, ulcers, infection and other complications.聽At 糖心Vlog Children's, our dedicated team of experts work together to give your child complete lymphedema care.
