Lipedema is a chronic condition characterized by an abnormal accumulation of fat, typically in the legs and sometimes in the arms, leading to swelling and discomfort. It primarily affects women and is often misdiagnosed as obesity or lymphedema. The exact cause of lipedema is unknown, but it is believed to be related to hormonal factors and genetics. There are different stages of lipedema.
​
Symptoms of Lipedema
-
Disproportional differences: Noticeable difference in size between the upper and lower parts of the body, with the lower body being disproportionately larger.
-
Symmetrical swelling: Both legs (and sometimes arms) are symmetrically enlarged.
-
Pain and tenderness: Affected areas are often painful and tender to the touch.
-
Easy bruising: The skin bruises easily with minimal trauma.
-
Nodular texture: The skin may feel lumpy or nodular.
-
Cold skin: The affected areas are often cooler to the touch.
-
Fat deposits: Abnormal fat distribution that is resistant to diet and exercise.
-
Reduced mobility: As the condition progresses, mobility can be affected due to the weight and pain of the swollen limbs.
-
Heavy legs: A sensation of heaviness in the legs, making movement more difficult.
-
Sluggishness: General feeling of fatigue and sluggishness, especially in the lower limbs.
-
No reaction to diet and exercise: Fat deposits remain unaffected by diet and exercise, making weight loss difficult in the affected areas.
