Lymphoedema, not elsewhere classified - what does this mean
Lymphoedema, not elsewhere classified, is a condition in which the accumulation of lymphatic fluid in body tissues causes swelling. it is caused by a disruption in the lymphatic system, which is responsible for draining excess fluid and proteins from the body's tissues. the disruption can be caused by a structural abnormality, such as a blockage in the lymphatic vessels, or by a disruption in the lymphatic system's ability to transport the fluid. the condition can be present at birth, or it can develop later in life due to an injury, infection, or cancer treatment.
What happens during the disease - lymphoedema, not elsewhere classified
Lymphoedema, not elsewhere classified, is a condition in which an abnormal accumulation of lymph fluid causes swelling in the body. this is caused by a disruption in the lymphatic system, which can be caused by genetic factors, trauma, or infection. the disruption impairs the drainage of lymph fluid, resulting in swelling and tissue damage. this can be further exacerbated by an increase in pressure or a decrease in lymphatic drainage.

Lymphoedema, not elsewhere classified - Prevention
Lymphoedema, not elsewhere classified, can be prevented by avoiding activities that cause trauma to the lymph nodes, such as strenuous exercise, and avoiding tight clothing or restrictive jewelry. regular exercise, such as swimming, is recommended for overall health and to promote proper lymphatic drainage. it is also important to maintain a healthy weight and diet, as obesity can increase the risk of lymphoedema. finally, seeking prompt medical treatment for any infections or injuries that may affect the lymphatic system is key in preventing lymphoedema.
