- Title
Genital lymphoedema and its hidden impact: a treatment guide.
- Authors
Wigg, Jane
- Abstract
Genital lymphoedema is recognised as a rare consequence of cancer surgery or its treatment, which also occurs with primary lymphoedema. Over recent years, there has been an increased understanding of the condition; however, good assessment, early recognition and effective management are crucial to prevent the progression and improve the lives of those with this condition. Treatment needs to be individualised and the psychosocial and emotional aspects of the condition need to be carefully considered to ensure that the patient can achieve successful outcomes with realistic expectations.
