Nyirokelégtípusok

Nyirokelégtípusok refers to the different types of lymphatic stasis or insufficiency. The lymphatic system is a vital part of the immune system and circulates lymph fluid throughout the body, removing waste products and fighting infection. When the lymphatic system is not functioning properly, lymph fluid can accumulate, leading to swelling and other complications.

There are two main categories of nyirokelégtípusok: primary and secondary lymphedema. Primary lymphedema is a rare inherited condition caused by genetic abnormalities in the development of the lymphatic system. It can manifest at birth, during puberty, or in adulthood. Secondary lymphedema is more common and occurs when the lymphatic system is damaged or blocked due to external factors. Common causes include surgery (especially cancer surgery involving lymph node removal), radiation therapy, infection, trauma, obesity, and chronic venous insufficiency.

Symptoms of nyirokelégtípusok can vary depending on the severity and location. They commonly include swelling in an arm or leg, a feeling of heaviness or tightness in the affected limb, restricted range of motion, recurrent infections, thickening and hardening of the skin, and changes in skin texture. The diagnosis typically involves a physical examination, medical history, and imaging tests such as lymphoscintigraphy or ultrasound. Treatment aims to manage symptoms, reduce swelling, and prevent complications, and may include compression therapy, exercise, manual lymphatic drainage, and wound care.
