Sexual Health Week isn’t just about sex—it’s about our whole sense of intimacy, body image, and connection, especially after cancer and with lymphedema.

📢 Survey Opportunity from Macquarie University 📢

Understanding the perspectives of healthcare professionals in lipedema: A cross-sectional survey

Lipedema is surrounded by conflicting information and a lack of consensus regarding diagnostic criteria and best practices for assessment and management. This variability can result in misdiagnosis and inconsistent clinical approaches, which may affect the quality of care provided to individuals living with the condition. To support effective and informed care, it is important to understand the perspectives and experiences of healthcare professionals who work with individuals affected by lipedema. This study aims to explore these perspectives to inform the development of evidence-based resources and clinical strategies that enhance the diagnosis, assessment, and management of lipedema.
