Lymphoedema Awareness Week
This week we recognise Lymphoedema Awareness Week: an important opportunity to raise awareness about a condition that is often misunderstood and underdiagnosed.
Lymphoedema is chronic swelling caused by a compromised lymphatic system. It can occur following cancer treatment, surgery, radiation therapy, infection, trauma, or may be primary in nature. Early identification and appropriate management are key to preventing progression and improving quality of life.
At Western Women’s and Men’s Health, Jacqueline Bate provides specialised lymphoedema management, including:
• Comprehensive assessment
• Individualised compression therapy guidance
• Manual lymphatic drainage
• Exercise prescription
• Education for long-term self-management
If you or someone you know is experiencing persistent swelling, heaviness, tightness, or recurrent skin infections, seeking early assessment is important.
Early treatment makes a significant difference.
