Lymphedema is usually very difficult to heal on its own.
Lymphedema is a condition in which body fluids are stored in the interstitial spaces of the tissues due to obstruction of lymphatic reflux, resulting in thickened, edematous, rough or even tough skin, such as elephant skin; the disease may be related to congenital factors, but also to acquired factors, such as trauma, radiation therapy and filariasis.
Lymphoedema cases can be divided into three phases, namely the edema phase, the fat proliferation phase and the fibroplasia phase; the severity of the disease has a great deal to do with which phase of the disease is in; this disease is generally difficult to self-cure, and there is no effective clinical treatment, but only to the cause and symptomatic treatment.
Once lymphedema is formed, it is generally difficult to cure and may leave different degrees of sequelae; if patients are diagnosed with lymphedema, they should consult a doctor in a timely manner and seek treatment under the guidance of a professional doctor to slow down the progress of the disease and improve the quality of life.
