The Grupo Pedro Ja\u00e9n Lymphology Unit offers advanced solutions that combine technology, medical expertise and personalised follow-up. <\/p>\n Detailed, personalised diagnosis for each patient<\/strong><\/p>\n Our specialists carry out a comprehensive assessment including medical history, physical examination and specific tests such as soft tissue ultrasound and lymphoscintigraphy. These studies allow us to determine the extent of the condition and differentiate lymphoedema from other similar disorders, enabling the development of a treatment plan tailored to each patient. <\/p>\n Coordination with other units<\/strong><\/p>\n The management of lymphoedema requires more than localised treatment and must follow a holistic approach. We therefore work in collaboration with specialists in vascular surgery<\/a>, endocrinology<\/a>, aesthetic medicine, nutrition and wellbeing<\/a>.

Lymph is a protein-rich fluid that transports lymphocytes and fats and plays an essential role in maintaining fluid balance and supporting the immune system, which protects the body against infection. <\/p>\n Under normal conditions, lymph circulates and drains through the lymphatic system. However, when this transport system fails, lymph accumulates in the tissues, leading to an increase in volume of the affected limb or body area. <\/p>\n Lymphoedema is often mistakenly considered a condition that mainly affects women. In reality, it can occur in both men and women. It is more common in older individuals, in people with excess body weight, and in patients with inflammatory diseases such as psoriasis or rheumatoid arthritis. <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/grupopedrojaen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/informacion-linfedema-01.jpg” alt=”Information about lymphoedema” title_text=”Information about lymphoedema” admin_label=”S4imagen1 – texto arriba y Texto abajo” _builder_version=”4.16.0″ _module_preset=”fa32ee74-40f9-4f45-bd8c-788215cd34f1″ animation=”fade_in” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”S4T2 – Bloque texto con subt\u00edtulos ajustados – Margen: 0 sup, 20 base” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”e44119ac-9b41-475f-8976-35bbbed7d3b4″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Lymphoedema develops when the lymphatic system is unable to drain lymph effectively. This failure of lymphatic drainage may be due to primary causes, such as congenital abnormalities in the anatomy or function of the lymphatic system, which may become apparent at different stages of life depending on the underlying cause, or secondary causes, meaning it occurs as a consequence or side effect of other diseases or their treatments (for example, oncological therapies for breast cancer, gynaecological cancers, prostate cancer or skin cancer). <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_toggle title=”Causes of lymphoedema” content_last_edited=”off|desktop” admin_label=”S4conmutador1 – Margen top \/ base: 30, relleno topo \/ base: 25.” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”340b8c79-26d7-4fad-8112-9bf37cf22d23″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Worldwide, the most common cause of secondary lymphoedema is filariasis, a parasitic disease that primarily affects populations in developing countries.<\/p>\n In our setting, the most frequent causes include:<\/p>\n Oncological surgery<\/strong><\/p>\n Some cancer treatments require the removal of lymph nodes (lymphadenectomy) in areas such as the axillae, groin or abdominal cavity. This procedure is one of the most significant risk factors for developing lymphoedema and the risk increases in proportion to the number of lymph nodes removed. It most commonly affects patients who undergo lymph node removal in the groin or axilla, leading to lymphoedema of the legs or arms, respectively. <\/p>\n Fortunately, the risk of developing lymphoedema following lymphadenectomy has been significantly reduced with the introduction of sentinel lymph node biopsy. This technique involves identifying and removing only the lymph node or nodes most likely to be affected by the tumour. Depending on the histopathological results, a decision is then made on whether further lymph node removal is necessary. <\/p>\n Radiotherapy to lymph node chains<\/strong><\/p>\n Radiotherapy used in certain cancer treatments can damage lymph nodes and lymphatic vessels, impairing their filtering and drainage function. This damage may ultimately result in lymphoedema.<\/p>\n Pharmacological cancer treatment<\/strong><\/p>\n Some chemotherapy agents, such as taxanes used in breast cancer treatment, increase the risk of developing lymphoedema, which may be temporary or persistent.<\/p>\n Obesity<\/strong><\/p>\n Recurrent bacterial infections<\/strong><\/p>\n Chronic venous insufficiency<\/strong><\/p>\n Lymphoedema secondary to chronic venous insufficiency, caused by overload of the venous system, is known as phlebolymphoedema.

A complete physical examination is also carried out, including circumferential measurements and soft tissue ultrasound to assess tissue characteristics, measure adipose layer thickness, and evaluate the presence of oedema or fluid accumulation.<\/p>\n In selected cases, depending on clinical findings and specialist judgement, additional investigations may be requested, such as comprehensive blood tests, imaging studies (magnetic resonance imaging), or lymphoscintigraphy\u2014a nuclear medicine test that provides information about lymphatic system function.<\/p>\n When necessary, vascular surgeons at Grupo Pedro Ja\u00e9n complete this evaluation with a detailed assessment of the circulatory system.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”S4T4 – Texto con imagen de fondo. texto arriba y texto abajo” _builder_version=”4.16.0″ _module_preset=”f36a7b73-f8fc-4abd-a524-337807fbbe48″ background_image=”https:\/\/grupopedrojaen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/tratamiento-linfedema-grupo-pedro-jaen-01.jpg” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”S4T2 – Bloque texto con subt\u00edtulos ajustados – Margen: 0 sup, 20 base” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”e44119ac-9b41-475f-8976-35bbbed7d3b4″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Lymphoedema may develop for different reasons, and its treatment must be adapted to each individual case:<\/p>\n Conservative treatment<\/strong><\/p>\n Conservative management of lymphoedema, known as decongestive therapy, consists of a combination of daily skin care measures that patients must incorporate into their routine, together with different procedures that must be prescribed and medically supervised, as there are important contraindications in certain situations.<\/p>\n Manual lymphatic drainage<\/em><\/p>\n Manual lymphatic drainage is a specialised massage technique that facilitates lymphatic drainage and helps relieve fluid retention. In patients with lymphoedema, this technique must be performed by expert lymph therapists with specific training in lymphatic disorders. <\/p>\n Compression bandaging<\/em><\/p>\n Following manual lymphatic drainage sessions, multilayer or multicomponent compression bandages are usually applied to the treated area to prevent reaccumulation of lymphatic fluid.<\/p>\n Pressotherapy<\/em><\/p>\n In milder cases, or as a complementary treatment to manual lymphatic drainage, pressotherapy may be used. This technique involves a device connected to inflatable garments with a system of air chambers that apply controlled pressure to the body surface, typically from the ankle up to the abdomen. Compression garments<\/em><\/p>\n During the maintenance phase, compression therapy is a key component of treatment. The specialist in lymphoedema may prescribe compression sleeves, gloves or stockings specifically designed to reduce or contain oedema. These garments are custom-made in specialised orthopaedic centres and are fitted during the medical consultation to ensure proper adjustment. <\/p>\n Exercise<\/em><\/p>\n Rehabilitation specialists may prescribe specific exercise programmes designed to promote lymphatic drainage and improve mobility of the limb affected by lymphoedema.<\/p>\n Management of overweight and obesity<\/em><\/p>\n Patients with lymphoedema who are overweight may be referred to the Endocrinology and Nutrition Unit at Grupo Pedro Ja\u00e9n, where they receive support to achieve weight loss in a safe and sustainable manner.<\/p>\n Surgery<\/strong><\/p>\n Surgical options are available for severe cases of lymphoedema. These include procedures such as vascularised lymph node transfer or lymphatic\u2013venous bypass, which aim to redirect lymphatic drainage towards unobstructed physiological pathways. Surgical treatment is indicated only in highly selected cases and must be assessed jointly with the plastic and vascular surgeons at Grupo Pedro Ja\u00e9n. <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/grupopedrojaen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/clinica-tratamiento-linfedema-01.jpg” alt=”Clinic specialised in the treatment of lymphoedema in Madrid” title_text=”Clinic specialised in the treatment of lymphoedema in Madrid” admin_label=”S4imagen2 – bloque arriba y Texto abajo” _builder_version=”4.16.0″ _module_preset=”e6a78824-5551-4c15-a6a8-d5c35eef3968″ animation=”fade_in” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”S4T2 – Bloque texto con subt\u00edtulos ajustados – Margen: 0 sup, 20 base” _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”e44119ac-9b41-475f-8976-35bbbed7d3b4″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Below are the authorship details and references supporting the information provided on this page:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_toggle title=”Authorship and references” content_last_edited=”off|desktop” admin_label=”S4conmutador1 – Margen top \/ base: 30, relleno topo \/ base: 25.” _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”340b8c79-26d7-4fad-8112-9bf37cf22d23″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\nSpecialists in<\/h2>\n
