Lipedema: Troubles Caused by Fat Metabolism Imbalance
Lipedema is a chronic disease that mainly affects the lower extremities. It is characterized by abnormal and uneven accumulation of adipose tissue. This condition often presents bilaterally symmetrically, usually starting from the distal part of the legs and gradually spreading upwards.
Lymphedema: Swelling Caused by Obstructed Lymphatic Circulation
Lymphedema occurs due to a dysfunction in the lymphatic system, which leads to poor lymphatic fluid drainage. Excessive lymphatic fluid accumulates in the interstitial spaces, thereby causing local or systemic swelling.

The Victorian Government has updated visitor restrictions for healthcare settings from tomorrow, Wednesday 12 January. These restrictions are to help us keep our patients safe from COVID-19.

Under these new restrictions, unvaccinated visitors will be required to undergo a Rapid Antigen Test at Royal Melbourne Hospital sites. If this is negative, they will be able to visit in a N95 mask. Those visitors that test positive will be unable to proceed to visit and will be advised of next steps.

Fully vaccinated visitors can continue to visit in an N95 mask.

Other visiting restrictions are unchanged:

- Patients can have one visitor per day
- Visits may be for a maximum of 2 hours
- Visiting hours are limited to between 10am – 1.30pm and/or 2.30pm – 8pm
- Visitors must complete a screening/attestation survey

Exceptions are in place for end-of-life situations - please speak to the nurse-in-charge before your arrival.

We understand this is challenging, and we hope to welcome more visitors soon. We know the difference visitors can make to the reassurance of your loved ones, and it helps reduce their isolation during a vulnerable time. We thank you for your continued patience, support and kindness during this period.
