Lipoedeem benen – ondersteuning en lymfedrainage

Lipoedeem in de benen vereist ondersteuning voor een effectieve lymfeafvoer. Therapeutische elastische kousen, manuele lymfedrainage en pneumatische compressietherapie zijn bewezen methoden om het volume van de benen te verminderen, pijnklachten te verlichten en de progressie van de aandoening te vertragen.

Deze behandelingen, uitgevoerd door gespecialiseerde fysiotherapeuten en huidtherapeuten, kunnen significante verlichting bieden. Bovendien kunnen ademhalingsoefeningen de lymfestroom en afvoer verbeteren.

Lipoedeem benen en Lymfoedeem benen – de verschillen

Lipoedeem en lymfoedeem in de benen worden vaak door elkaar gehaald, maar er zijn significante verschillen tussen de twee. Lipoedeem is een stoornis in de vetproductie die voornamelijk bij vrouwen optreedt, terwijl lymfoedeem veroorzaakt wordt door problemen in het lymfesysteem.

Beide aandoeningen kunnen leiden tot vasthouden van vocht, resulterend in gezwollen benen en dikke enkels. Echter, een kenmerkend verschil is dat lipoedeem pijnlijk is bij aanraking. Daarnaast worden bij lipoedeem de voeten doorgaans niet aangetast, in tegenstelling tot bij lymfoedeem.

Lipoedeem benen ervaringen

With the diagnosis of "lipedema," it became clear to me that I have a disease that I can do absolutely nothing about myself but which surgically improves. Thanks to the successful surgeries I underwent at ReSculpt Clinic, for the first time in 10 years, I literally and figuratively feel lighter and have become, in terms of appearance, who I really should have been.

How do I know if I have lipedema?

Lipedema is complex and difficult to recognize. It is often diagnosed too late or not at all. Lipedema is fat deposits that do not shrink with weight loss.

Because of these localized fat deposits, lymph and blood vessels can become damaged and nerve endings are stimulated. A low-grade inflammation develops in the lipedema, so to speak. This causes pain in the skin; the skin is sensitive to touch. Bruising occurs quickly and the legs often feel heavy.
