Question 1

does anyone know about any lymphatic diseases; and how do you get them?

Accepted Answer

Tissue swelling: Latin lympha "water goddess" - lymph is essentially recycled blood plasma. The lymphatic system returns the interstitial fluid to the thoracic duct and then to the bloodstream, where it is recirculated back to the tissues.Tissues with lymphedema are at risk of infection and ulcer. Yes I am certified in lymphatic therapy. We use fda approved lymphedema laser therapy for lymph drainage.

Question 2

healthy diets and exercise for patients with lymphatic diseases?

Accepted Answer

Yes, sorta: Depends on the type of lymphatic dz.  If you are referring to lymphedema, it will help, but the mainstay of therapy is compression, special massage therapy, and compression pumps, depending on the severity of dz.

Question 3

does a blood test detect lymphatic diseases like problems with lymphatic flow?

Accepted Answer

Usually mechanical: The commonest reasons for interruption of lymphatic flow are surgical, like lymph node removal for breast cancer. When the lymph nodes are cut out of the underarm area, the lymph channels are cut with them, leaving the arm on that side vulnerable to "lymphedema." this is why women do not have blood drawn on the side where they had a mastectomy. There is no blood test for this.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Compression: of involved extremity is generally thee treatment along with lymphatic massage and lymphedema pump. Surgery generally does not work well.

Question 5

what lymphatic disease causes uticaria, difficulty breathing, palpitations, flushing, nausea and abdominal pain?

Accepted Answer

Not a quiz!!: can't just fit those symptoms  into a disease and call it a lymphatic disease, those symptoms are common to some different disorders, mastocytosis is one, but is it the diagnosis? We don't know, proper management = proper diagnosis , hence right treatment for the condition proven/suspected, your best option, as I see it, would be seeking help in a tetriary care/teaching or university hospital,

Question 6

what is lymphedema and do you treat lymphatic disorders?

Accepted Answer

I specialize in it: Lymphedema is a condition that causes the body to build up protein rich fluid in the affected area, resulting in swelling. Generally, it affects the limbs, but it can occur in other areas such as the abdominal region. If left untreated, the fluid will eventually reduce oxygen availability to the area and may result in delay of wound healing and possible infection. I specialize in this disorder.

Question 7

how does the lymphatic system promote disease resistance?

Accepted Answer

Drainage: Lymphatics are necessary for drainage of tissue fluid and are an essential part of the Immune system.  It's a way for germs and debris that get carried by the lymphatic fluid to come in contact with and get processed by the immune system along the way in lymph nodes.
