A comprehensive approach to lymphedema treatment at Marvie Hotel & Health

Lymphedema is a long-term (chronic) condition that is characterized by swelling in the body’s tissues. Even though it can develop in any part of the organism, it usually manifests in the arms or legs. Lymphedema can be the result of a rare, inherited condition (primary Lymphedema), or it can happen in cases the lymphatic system is damaged from surgery, trauma or radiation therapy (secondary Lymphedema). The lymphatic system is a complex network of vessels, tissues, and organs within the body that helps fight infection and remove excess fluid. For that reason, it’s important that Lymphedema is identified and treated as soon as possible because otherwise, it can get worse.

The diagnosis is established by a physical examination, and the treatment depends on the general condition of the person and the stage of the Lymphedema’s progress. It is commonly treated with exercise, bandages, massages, and rarely even surgery. Although complete recovery is infrequent, therapeutic measures can significantly alleviate the symptoms and slow down the progression of the disorder. In cases where patients undergo various surgeries, an important step in the recovery process is the post-operative treatment of lymphedema. At Aqua Med Medical Wellness in Marvie Hotel, we have developed a comprehensive approach to conducting postoperative therapy of Lymphedema. Our professional interdisciplinary team of doctors and physicians approach every patient with utmost care in order to treat their condition while preserving their health. There are several types of postoperative treatments that may be recommended for people with lymphedema, including manual lymphatic drainage, compression therapy, and exercise.

Manual lymphatic drainage is a specific massage technique in which the limb is raised and massaged towards the heart, in order to stimulate the flow of fluid in the lymphatic system with the aim of reducing swelling. It is usually performed by a trained professional and involves gentle, rhythmic strokes designed to move fluid from the swollen areas to the lymph nodes, which are then drained.

Compression therapy is often performed after the lymphatic drainage treatment. The physical therapist places multilayer compression bandages on the swollen areas. The bandages are wrapped in layers to apply different pressure on the swollen areas and thus promote fluid circulation. Medical compression aids (gloves, socks and compression clothing) are selected individually based on the clinical picture of the patient.

Exercise is another important step in stimulating lymphatic drainage. With the help of the Lymphedema care team, a special exercise plan is designed that includes the muscles involved in lymph drainage. Some of the exercises include swimming, cycling, and walking. Other specific limb exercises are also included that involve the entire body. Gentle range of motion exercises can help to improve flexibility and mobility while strengthening exercises can help to improve the function of the affected limb. Patients are additionally suggested to follow certain preventive measures which include avoiding heat, following a regular exercise routine, and wearing clothes that tighten the affected limb. Special attention should be paid to nail and skin care in order to avoid additional infections. All the mentioned accompanying treatments can be obtained in Aqua Med Medical Wellness in the Marvie Hotel, ensuring our patients a comprehensive approach to the treatment of lymphedema.

If you decide to treat Lymphedema at Marvie Hotel & Health, it is useful to know that 75 minutes of postoperative therapy for Lymphedema cost 40 euros, while the package of 5 arrivals (75 min per treatment) cost 180 euros.

Postoperative therapy is an important part of the treatment process for lymphedema. By working with trained therapists and following a treatment plan that includes manual lymphatic drainage, compression therapy, and exercise, it is possible to reduce swelling and improve the functions of the affected limb which will help in returning to everyday activities as quickly and safely as possible. It is important to stick to the recommended treatment plan and to follow up with your healthcare provider regularly to monitor progress and make necessary adjustments to the treatment plan. Aqua Med Medical Wellness in Marvie Hotel & Health offers a comprehensive approach to Lymphedema treatment which guarantees that your health is in good hands.
