Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Can Swelling Be Reduced By Manually Removing The Lymph?
During surgical treatment for cervical cancer, doctors removed the lymph glands near right leg. We have been using compression stockings and lymphapress but swelling of the leg keeps on increasing for last 4 years. No pain or itching but size of the leg keeps on growing big and stiff. Doctors after the scans have confirmed nothing is blocked in veins but just the lymph fluid is not going back. Is there a way I can get rid of the swelling by manually removing the lymph or something?
