Lymphoedema

About Lymphoedema at Kayakriti

The lymphatic system is a network of vessels, tissues and organs that drains lymph fluid through the body, separate from the arteries and veins that carry blood. When this network is blocked or damaged, lymph cannot move normally and accumulates in soft tissues, causing the chronic swelling we recognise as lymphoedema. Kayakriti's lymphedema therapy in Lucknow is built around understanding and correcting this stagnation.

Lymphoedema is broadly classified into two types. Primary lymphoedema results from abnormal development of lymphatic vessels and may show up in childhood or early adulthood. Secondary lymphoedema follows damage to the lymphatic system from infection, cancer surgery, radiation or trauma. Both cause progressive swelling, heaviness, skin changes and recurrent infections, making structured swelling treatment limbs require a long view rather than one-off care.

At Kayakriti, evaluation includes detailed history, limb measurements, skin assessment and, where appropriate, lymphoscintigraphy or imaging to map drainage pathways. Conservative care including compression garments, manual lymphatic drainage treatment and skincare forms the foundation. For early-stage disease, microsurgical options such as vascularised lymph node transfer or lympho-venous bypass may significantly reduce swelling and infection episodes.

For advanced cases, debulking procedures including liposuction or excisional surgery help restore limb shape and mobility, especially when conservative care alone is no longer enough. Dr. Amit Agarwal's microsurgical training ensures that lymphedema surgery is offered selectively, with realistic expectations. The aim is sustained improvement in size, comfort and function so patients can return to work, exercise and confident daily life.
