Lymphedema is a condition where the lymphatic system fails to drain excess fluids, causing chronic swelling, most often in the legs. Like lymphedema, leg swelling involves the buildup of fluid, but it can have multiple other causes, including venous insufficiency.
Leg swelling and lymphedema can appear very similar, and they can both cause pain, heaviness, and difficulties fitting into your normal clothes. Ultimately, they can both have a variety of negative effects on your normal life.
Lymphedema specifically refers to a failure of the lymphatic system to drain excess fluid, while leg swelling can have a variety of causes. Leg swelling may signal an underlying venous insufficiency or another health condition, which is why it’s important to get specialized help. At AVLC, we’ll perform an ultrasound and other tests as necessary to determine the cause of your leg swelling and recommend the right treatment options.
