Swelling of the limbs

The clinical manifestations of limb lymphedema are persistent and progressive swelling of one or both limbs. Edema occurs when the skin is pressed early. It is also called depression edema. If the limbs are continuously elevated at this time, the edema can be reduced or subsided. If it is not treated in time, the disease gradually progresses, and the skin may become rougher and harder, and the elasticity may decrease from weakening to disappearing. The depressed depressions also became less apparent as the examination diminished.
