Lipedema Treatment
What is lipedema?
Lipedema is a progressive medical condition that mainly affects women. It causes a disproportionate buildup of fat cells in the legs, thighs, buttocks, and sometimes the arms, leading to pain, swelling, and reduced mobility. Unlike common fat deposits, lipedema does not improve with diet, exercise, or traditional weight-loss methods. Many patients live with the condition for years without a correct diagnosis, mistaking it for obesity or lymphedema.
If left untreated, lipedema may worsen over time, affecting daily movement, mental wellbeing, and overall quality of life.
Symptoms of lipedema
- Symmetrical enlargement of the legs and lower body
- Tenderness or pain when pressure is applied to the affected areas
- Easy bruising of the skin
- A feeling of heaviness or fatigue in the legs
- Mobility limitations and difficulty standing or walking for long periods
Recognising these symptoms early is key to preventing progression and ensuring effective treatment.
