Lipoedema

Lipoedema was first described in 1940 as a chronic and incurable condition involving an abnormal build-up of adipose tissue.

It typically affects the thighs, buttocks and lower legs, and sometimes the arms, and may, although not always, cause considerable tissue enlargement, swelling and pain. It may significantly impair mobility, the ability to perform activities of daily living, and psychosocial wellbeing.

Current conservative management involves encouraging self-care, managing symptoms, improving functioning and mobility, providing psychosocial support and preventing deterioration in physical and mental health and wellbeing.

Dr Flora may be able to help alleviate the effects of this condition with some of the treatments at her disposal.
