Lymphedema—a common but often overlooked side effect of breast cancer treatment.

Asking the right questions early can be one of your most powerful tools for protecting your long-term health. Here are 5 essential questions to discuss with your care team:

1️⃣ “What is my personal risk of developing lymphedema?”
Your risk depends on the type of surgery or treatment you receive. Factors such as a high BMI, obesity, axillary lymph node dissection (ALND), radiotherapy and chemotherapy can increase the likelihood of lymphedema.

2️⃣ “Will lymph nodes be removed during my surgery—and how many?”
The more lymph nodes removed, the higher is the risk.

3️⃣ “What steps can I take before and after treatment to lower my risk?”
Before and after surgery, ask your care team or Lymphatic drainage specialist about a personalized prevention plan. This may include bioimpedance measurements to track changes in lymphatic flow and detect early signs of lymphedema, along with physical therapy, lymphatic drainage, oncology scar healing, gentle exercises, and healthy lifestyle. Staying proactive and monitoring your health closely can make a big difference in lowering your risk.

4️⃣ “What early warning signs should I watch for?”
Be alert for heaviness, tightness, numbness, tingling, visible swelling or changes in arm size or shape. Early detection leads to early intervention.

5️⃣ “Can I see a lymphedema specialist or certified therapist?”
Specialists can provide education, screening, and tailored strategies. Don’t hesitate to ask for a referral or find a certified lymphoedema specialist near you. Certified specialists in UK can be found on https://mlduk.org.uk The Lymphatic Education & Research Network (LE&RN) offers free resources to help patients. Visit https://lymphaticnetwork.org to access these tools and take charge of your health:

Don’t hesitate to ask questions and advocate for yourself.

Can lymphatic Drainage help in my IVF journey?

Yes, lymphatic drainage is beneficial before starting IVF cycle

The goal before IVF is to create the most optimal, healthy, and receptive environment for your body. Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) can contribute in several ways:

🌸Reduces Inflammation: The lymphatic system is a key part of your immune system. By stimulating the flow of lymph, MLD can help clear out inflammatory markers, metabolic waste, and toxins. A less inflammatory state is generally considered more favorable for implantation.

🌸Improves Circulation to Reproductive Organs: Enhanced blood and lymph flow in the pelvic region can potentially improve oxygen and nutrient delivery to the ovaries and uterine lining.

🌸Reduces Water Retention & Bloating: Some women experience bloating even before starting medications. Gentle lymphatic work can help manage this, potentially improving comfort.

🌸Stress Reduction: The gentle, rhythmic movements of MLD are deeply relaxing for most people. Lowering cortisol (the stress hormone) is a significant benefit, as high stress can negatively impact fertility.

🌸 Supports Detoxification Pathways: IVF is an intense procedure, so it is really necessary to support body’s detoxification systems before, to minimise potential side effects. Lymphatic Drainage activates elimination of buildup toxins, creating healthier environment for conception.

⭐️Four treatments before starting IVF procedure are recommended for optimal benefits

Why does it hurt when my lymphedema is touched? ⬆️

Rehydration is Key after Lymphatic Drainage treatment!

* A lymphatic drainage massage is designed to stimulate the flow of lymph throughout your body. The lymph carries waste products, toxins, and excess proteins away from your tissues to be filtered and eliminated.

* This process makes your kidneys work harder to filter toxins out leading to increased urination, which flushes out not only toxins but also water and electrolytes (like sodium, potassium, and magnesium).

* Adding Electrolytes to your water is an excellent way to optimize hydration, support body’s detoxification process, and minimize any potential negative side effects after Lymphatic Drainage treatment.

* The Benefits include:

· Prevents “Die-Off” Symptoms: As toxins are released quickly and the body struggles to process the sudden influx of waste, you might experience mild, flu-like symptoms such as headache, fatigue, or nausea. Proper hydration with electrolytes can significantly reduce the intensity of these symptoms.

· Electrolytes, especially sodium, help your body absorb and retain water more effectively than water alone. They facilitate the movement of water into your cells, ensuring you are hydrating at a cellular level.

· Reduces Post-treatment fatigue: electrolytes can help you feel refreshed and energized rather than drained after the Lymphatic Drainage treatment

* Best sources of Electrolytes:

* Coconut water (a natural source of potassium, but can be higher in natural sugars).

* A simple pinch of Himalayan salt or sea salt in your water can also provide sodium and other trace minerals.

* Sugar-free electrolyte concentrate, powders, tablets that you mix with water. I would recommend E-lyte from BodyBio, Dr.Vegan Hydrate+ and Elete Electrolyte.

* Text Electrolytes in the comments and I’ll message you the 10% discount code to order from Natural Dispensary *

Optimise cosmetic surgery recovery by adding Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) to your regular Lymphatic Drainage & Deep Oscillation treatments.

Previously known as Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), PBMT uses non-thermal, non-invasive light to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes at a cellular level.

Significantly reduces swelling & bruising
Accelerates wound healing
Reduces pain and discomfort
Improves scar appearance
Shortens healing downtime

PBMT is versatile and can be used after a wide range of procedures, including:

· Facelifts, Neck Lifts, and Blepharoplasty: To drastically reduce bruising and swelling.
· Rhinoplasty: To manage swelling, which is a major concern for seeing the final result.
· Breast Augmentation, Reduction, or Lift: To manage pain and swelling.
· Liposuction and Tummy Tucks: To reduce swelling, improve skin retraction, and help with discomfort.
· Laser Resurfacing: To accelerate re-epithelialization (skin re-growth) and reduce redness.

Scientists have rediscovered the “meningeal lymphatic system,” a network of waste-draining vessels in the brain. Its dysfunction is linked to Alzheimer’s progression, while improving its function boosts cognition, memory and mood

Known as therapy for ageing, Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) shows promise for much more:

· Brain Health: Boosts cognitive function and clears Alzheimer’s-related proteins
· Pain & Inflammation: Eases arthritis pain and joint stiffness by reducing local inflammation.
· Recovery: Aids rehabilitation from stroke and brain injury by helping to clear toxic waste.
· Lung Health: Improves breathing for long-COVID and COPD patients.
· Mental Health & Sleep: Reports show improvements in mood, appetite, and sleep quality.

The very precise and specific movements of Dr Vodder’s MLD therapy have been shown to increase lymph flow, reduce systemic inflammation, modulate both acute and chronic pain, and it is a non-drug option to support treatments for Alzheimer’s, dementia, and other chronic conditions. *

Lipedema is more than just “hard-to-lose fat.” It’s a chronic disorder with a strong genetic component that primarily affects women.

While genetic testing is not yet a standard diagnostic tool, research is rapidly evolving to understand how specific gene polymorphisms (like PPARG, Leptin, and Estrogen Receptor genes) play a significant role in lipedema’s development. Identifying risk factors could:

• Improve Early Detection in families with a history.

• Guide Personalized Therapies for metabolic, hormonal, or inflammatory pathways.

• Help Differentiate lipedema from obesity or lymphedema.

Key Genes:

PPARG Regulates fat storage and adipogenesis. Variants here may influence the unique fat distribution and inflammation seen in lipedema.

LEP / LEPR (Leptin) Governs hunger and metabolic function. Polymorphisms may contribute to metabolic dysfunction and adipose tissue expansion.

ESR1, ESR2 & CYP19A1 (Aromatase) Linked to fat distribution, inflammation, and local estrogen production in fat tissue. This may explain why lipedema predominantly affects women.

Your genetic blueprint is unique. Your treatment should be too.

Understanding the underlying factors is the first step toward a personalized management plan.
