Oedema - Pathological swelling

Various parts of the body may swell up, from injury or inflammation, including our veins, arms and legs. This swelling is known as oedema and is due to a build-up of fluid in the tissue. Unfortunately, oedema can go undetected for some time before there is an onset of pain. However, the progression of oedema can effectively be slowed down through the help of compression and therapy at early stages! With the help of our dossier, you can be equipped with the knowledge on how to recognise oedema earlier, and how to manage it in different parts of the body.
