What is edema physiotherapy?
Edema can occur at any age and has various causes, such as:
- After surgery with possible removal of the lymph nodes.
- After radiotherapy (radiation) or chemotherapy.
- Congenital disorders.
- Heart complaints.
- Hormonal fluctuations.
- Circulation problems.
- After an injury.
Symptoms and impact of edema
The accumulated moisture can lead to:
- Swellings.
- Pain.
- A heavy or tired feeling.
- Restrictions in movement.
It's important to address edema symptoms promptly. Untreated edema can lead to tissue hardening (fibrosis), chronic pain, reduced mobility, and an increased risk of infections such as erysipelas.
