🥵High humidity can worsen lymphoedema due to the body’s response to heat.

When it’s hot, blood vessels expand (vasodilation) to release heat, which can lead to more fluid leaking from blood vessels into surrounding tissues.

In people with lymphoedema, this excess fluid may not be effectively drained by the lymphatic system, causing further swelling and discomfort. 

To mitigate the impact of humidity on lymphoedema:

* Stay cool:
Avoid direct sun exposure, especially during the hottest part of the day, and seek air-conditioned environments, if possible.

* Hydrate:
Drink plenty of water to help your body regulate temperature and support lymphatic drainage. 

* Wear loose, light clothing:
This can help with airflow and prevent overheating. 

* Consider compression:
While compression garments can be uncomfortable in hot weather, they are essential for managing lymphoedema.

* Moisturise and protect skin:
Keep your skin clean and moisturised to prevent dryness and cracking, which can increase the risk of infection. 

* Elevate the affected limb:
If you feel swelling increasing, elevate the limb to help drain excess fluid. 

* Consult your healthcare provider:
If you have concerns about managing your lymphoedema in hot and humid weather, talk to your doctor for advice and support.

Have you considered manual lymphatic drainage massage?☺️
